Written and read beautifully. Keeps me engaged the entire time, every character is expanded on well and you get to know many of them as individuals, making them more complex

🚨Some Spoilers 🚨

⚔️This book was by far the most action-packed so far! I was invested in each character’s storyline, and the stakes were HIGH. ⚔️
🪦The Arobynn plot was something I wanted to explore more, and this book delivered! He’s a creep, but it was interesting trying to navigate him through Celaena’s eyes. 🪦
👑I CRIED when we discovered Manon’s true identity. This was something I completely wasn’t expecting, and it made me so happy yet sad for her. Kaltain’s identity was also an interesting one and seeing the plan of the princes through her was ☠️👑
🦋It was great seeing that Lysandra wasn’t the villain she was painted out to be. Watching her join the team, sharing trauma, and working together to fix it and get rid of Arobynn was not something I was expecting. 🦋
🧚♀️This book keeps getting more interesting with every chapter, pulling you deeper into its fantasy world. The development of relationships, multiple rescues, and the reunion with both beloved and hated characters were some of the best parts that kept me hooked. One thing I would point out is SO MANY CHARACTERS that throughout the rest of the series I do find hard to keep up with names especially the unique names 🧚♀️
💜This is the best book out of the entire series! And I believe this is the only one that received a full 5 stars from me!

🔥”Heir of Fire” takes readers on an exhilarating journey through the trials and tribulations of Celaena Sardothien.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It seems that the series is just getting better; I really enjoyed learning more about the fae world and Aelin. Readers can understand why she is the way she is through experiencing her trauma with her and watching as she opens herself up to another being, a true friend, perhaps more…? 📖💫
🍄While the witch storyline initially unfolds at a slower pace, the introduction of Abraxos injects newfound intrigue, drawing readers deeper into the intricate web of magic and the witches. 🍄
⚔️Maeve emerges as a captivating figure, her enigmatic presence adding layers of complexity to the narrative. The perception of her as a threat by Celaena’s parents only serves to heighten the tension and anticipation surrounding her character. 🌟🔮
💀Sorscha’s untimely demise comes as a gut-wrenching blow, shattering expectations and reshaping the trajectory of the story. Her unexpected departure serves as a pivotal moment for Dorian’s character development, transforming him in unforeseen ways. 💔📖
With its gripping conclusion, “Heir of Fire” sets the stage for the next chapter in Celaena’s, now Aelin’s, epic saga. 🌟🔒
