Abby said: " In Heir of Fire, Sarah J. Maas has moved out of the exposition setup of her series. Now, we enter act 2, and oh man is stuff happening. There are four main plot lines to follow.
First, we have Celaena, who is learning how to master her magic through In Heir of Fire, Sarah J. Maas has moved out of the exposition setup of her series. Now, we enter act 2, and oh man is stuff happening. There are four main plot lines to follow.
First, we have Celaena, who is learning how to master her magic through help of the most powerful fae male, Prince Rowan Whitethorn. The two, however, don't exactly get along at first, making training all the more difficult. Yet, the importance of Celaena claiming her powers becomes all the more intense when demifae start to be mysteriously killed around them. We're also introduced to Maeve... and isn't she a doll.
We also follow Dorian's story back at the glass castle. Here, he makes a new friend and continues to struggle to come to terms with his own magical abilities. Alongside this story is Chaol and newcomer Aedion's attempts to gather rebel information and start to put together just how the king has managed to do what he's done.
And finally, we're introduced to a new character, Manon Blackbeak. She and the rest of the witches have made a deal that includes learning how to ride wyverns (which is badass by the way), in exchange for fighting on the king's behalf.
There is so much happening in this book! All the required setup has been accomplished, so now we're really diving into the plot. Things are moving, and they're moving fast, especially since we have multiple plot-driven stories going on at once. The pacing is perfect, and there are some really great new characters being introduced and explored. We ultimately get to see a lot of characters come into their own, whether that be through their own efforts, or the freaking climax that broke my heart... My poor, sweet Dorian, how Sarah has hurt you. He's not the only one, this climax really rocked every characters' world, but Dorian especially was like a knife to the gut. One of the best things an author can do is get an emotional reaction from readers, and Sarah freaking got it from me.
