" After surviving through numerous deadly and heartbreaking events, Celaena travels to a different land in order to face her fears and heritage.

The third book in the series can be called my favorite so far. Even being 500+ pages, it was extremely diff After surviving through numerous deadly and heartbreaking events, Celaena travels to a different land in order to face her fears and heritage.

The third book in the series can be called my favorite so far. Even being 500+ pages, it was extremely difficult to keep myself from finishing it in a couple of days.

Celaena. Her personality shines with different colors in this book. We see her completely shattered and broken, because of her past, the people she lost. Her struggles are marvelously written here, and I could feel her pain with every bit of my heart. However, seeing her get over her fears and grief made me feel reborn inside. I am so beyond excited to see the new Celaena in the next book!!!

Rowan. A new character in the series, who firstly made me slightly uncomfortable, as I was immediately thinking that we would get a romantic line for Celaena. Don’t get me wrong, that girl deserves all the best, but I would cringe really hard, if she hadn’t sorted out her inner struggles first. Later in the book, Rowan starts to open up more. Maybe it’s because I’ve already read a bunch of fantasy book with enemies to lovers, but I was not that surprised by his story, even though I felt a lot of sympathy towards him. I’m not sure, if he will become Celaena’s love interest in the next books, but so far, I’m enjoying their non-romantic bond so so much.

Dorian. The Prince actually become rather mature in this book. He is also struggling through many moments. For instance, gaining control over his unpredictable magic. Besides that, his best friend basically leaves him because of this. I’m really glad, we got to see Sorscha, who was able to give Dorian at least a bit of love and support. It was very devastating to see her die, but it was probably that push Dorian needed to truly start hating on his father. (I feel as though Dorian would either be extremely devastated after the previous events, or blinded by the rage, and I hope he can deal with this with the help of his friends).

Chaol. Ughhh, I was rather annoyed with him for almost the whole book. I can understand, that he was frustrated with all the unexpected information he acquired about the people he deeply cares about, but still!!!! I hope he gets his redemption for his behavior in the next book......

Aedion. Oh. My. God. I think I found myself a new crush lol. This man actually became one of my favorites in the series so far. The skilled warrior, loyal member of the court, and Celaena’s best friend. Even though he does seems rather selfish at first, he opens up to be a completely different person. I hope we get to learn more about him in the next books. And damn, I seriously need to see him and Celaena reunited, please.

Manon. Another rather curious new character, who is a fierce witch warrior. She is portrayed to be this coldblooded, evil character. However, due to her encounter with Abraxos, she starts to believe, that she actually does have a heart, and maybe her grandmother’s order is not the right one.

All in all, Heir of Fire turned out to have an amazing plot, with significant characters development, a lot of action, incredible breathtaking atmosphere, and, of course, major plot twists, that still continue to surprise me greatly. ...more "
