Title: Heir of Fire
Author: Sarah J. Maas
Publisher: Bloomsbury
Rating: 📖📖📖.5 / 5
The third installment of the Throne of Glass series here! And it sure was the most interesting of them all thus far. We are introduced to a host of new characters; including some Fae, Demi-Fae and a whole bunch of witches. But, unfortunately, most of them are either underdeveloped or so hopelessly devoted to Celaena that I thought for a moment I was reading Twilight. Finally by the end of Crown of Midnight I felt like I could like Celaena. That she had gotten strong and gotten over the whiny little girl that she was portrayed as. But most of the story revolves around her STILL not getting over the fact that people had died in her life and it is a major hinderance to her. Yawn.
And what is up with all the witches?? They are introduced and then forgotten, then brought back, then ignored again. And while I'm sure they'll play a big role in the upcoming book, they served no purpose to this particular story at all. It almost took away from the story as I had to slog through that portion of the book. But, at least, I liked the Wyverns they end up riding and ended up liking them more than the witches themselves.
But I digress. The book isn't all bad. It was pretty good once the story got going. Celaena and Rowan's new friendship was nice to see. I got a kick out of Rowan giving Celaena a hard time. She needed to be put in her place. A lot of the actual overall plot is starting to come together and we can really see what the King is up to. Overall, I would suggest the book if you liked the first two. It is decent for what it is and I'll finish out the series at least to see how it ends.
