I've put this YA fantasy series in so many customer hands but for me I must admit I gave up a while ago - too much angst and I just find the characters irritating... But my teen self would for sure still be reading it! Like all the other YA powerhouse series (Twilight, Hunger Games, Divergent, Red Queen to name a few) I gave up somewhere between books 2 and 3 - I would rather indulge in a nostalgia re-read of my battered Tamora Pierce Tortall books..!

Another fantastic instalment in a wonderful series. Just when you think it can't reach any higher, it does. The stars!

I recently bought a new kindle after my old one broke. For some reason I was unable to download this title from the cloud onto my kindle, therefore I will be unable to review this title. I am sorry for any inconvenience caused

I was rereading the first two books and this is the first time I've read Heir of Fire. What took me so long, you say? I don't honestly know. I love how this storyline just keeps on giving, when you think all hope is lost, or what happened to Chaol, and along comes Rowan. Celaena grows in this book into the person she is meant to be and I can't wait to read on as she becomes someone else.

Surprised I'm still staying up with my schedule and actually read 200 pages of this last night! Lots of good things, if not a little confusing slow throughout. Still definitely preferred the first and second one over this one. It's strange, because all three of these are so completely different from each other. But I like finally discovering <spoiler>who Rowan is, and why people like him so much.</spoiler> Also sweet to see <spoiler>Dorian and Sorscha, even though his father killed her. I saw that coming. Also hope Dorian's still alive though! And I hope Aedion gets out.</spoiler>

I have reviewed the second book in this series and the start of Maas' other series. It's been over 3 years since I received an arc of this book, but I never technically abandoned books I received review copies for.


The world building is interesting as we are in a new location and learn more about the fae. Get new characters.


We are introduced to a character that's destined to die. They were apparently introduced in the last book, but not noticeable. They reek of death the moment they introduced and making their interaction meaningless and obvious plot fodder. I stand by that Chaol and Dorian make a more interesting ship than any of the other things they have going on. I just dislike Chaol,, but can't remember why? (re-read the first two books? no). I mean he doesn't do a thing to change my mind so I'm just going to stick with the dislike.


The book changes POV and they were some I just didn't care about (Chaol's,) but had to read for plot reasons. The plot was okay, I really didn't care for the Adarlan side of the story. The climax on the side was somewhat obvious, but does feel like interesting set up for the next books. The rest of the plot was good and still like Celaena for the most part.

Overall, I give this book 4/5. I enjoyed this book better than the last one and probably pick up the next book soon (at least sooner than I did this one).

I got this book for Review off NetGalley and it was published by Bloomsbury on 11 September 2014. They probably rather I mention that the 6th novel is out next month. Also I did end up purchasing a non-signed edition of this book.

This was different from where I thought this series would have taken us by now, and like many readers, the first part of the book was me basically sitting there thinking, okay, can we go back to the catstle now? I have my disappointments over the actions of some characters and I think I might just have to give up on a particular dream I had for two of them.

So the author has turned us all in a totally different direction in this book. The sneaky thing. I started off reluctantly dragging my heels behind her, but now i think I'm with her all the way. It's amazing how you can change your mind about a character.

Overall, HoF had a slower start simply due to the change of scenery and new people etc, but it ended with an absolute bang and left me reassured that the series is right back on track.

5 stars
