Heir of Fire

This book made me so mad.

1. What is up with Rowan? - he's such a dull uninteresting character.

2. Celeana's character has dramatically changed. Whilst I'm not appears to characters growing or developing- it seems like SJM took an interesting assassin and wiped all the interesting bits out. How would Celeana be okay with Rowan picking her up and taking her to his room and her just bring in there from then on? She spends a couple of weeks on her mission before deciding it's impossible. She went through a portal, battled a demon, but a few guards and a fancy dude on a horse is too much!!!

3. Celeana blaming Chaol for the same things that she has done was infuriating. I hope this is a plot device because at one point I wanted to throw my book across the room I was that cross. I told myself over and over that Celeana is supposed to be 19 and this is why she is written this way.

4. Did they forget about the tower, the wyrd, wyrdkeys etc.

5. The numerous and repetitive training scenes - I got bored with them. This made the book slow and took out any pace that the previous books had.

6. Isn't she allowed any interaction with female characters that aren't dead (or soon to be), evil or a minor character. The majority of people she interacts with are male and are in some way smitten.

The chapters with the witches and wyverns were the most interesting.


1 ⭐️ Didn't like it all.
2 ⭐️ Wasn't worth the read, was boring or problematic to me.
3 ⭐️ Fair or good read. Fun but nothing profound. May have interesting characters, themes or plot items. May have flaws but I can overlook them.
4 ⭐️ Good or great read.
5 ⭐️ Perfect or as near to as possible.
