I don’t even know how I’ll keep myself from flipping out and COMPLETELY OVERTAKE THIS POST WITH CAPSLOCK FANGIRLING but I am 100% in love with Rowan *sighs wistfully* His character type is not one I usually enjoy: broody, ancient, alpha, otherworldly creature with a tragic backstory usually has me dashing the other way – but my love for him DEFIES REASONS OK. And I know this because I’ve been doing the same damn thing for two hundred years.” “You collect scars because you want proof that you are paying for whatever sins you’ve committed. I loved the juxtaposition between the growth in her magic and her development as a character. Although at times, I did find her POV a bit slow, I really empathised with her struggles to find herself amidst all of the darkness that has plagued her life. Watching her grow throughout the book was simultaneously difficult and rewarding. For most of Heir of Fire, Celaena struggles with her identity – she desperately tries to evade her past in spite of the numerous reminders. Although she has not quite shed her Celaena persona for most of the book, I loved seeing the glimpses of the strong, wilful queen she will one day become. I might be amongst the minority with this opinion, but I vastly prefer Celaena as Aelin. “She was the heir of ash and fire, and she would bow to no one.” I’ll mainly examine the characters today (as I would hate to be repeating myself across all my posts this week XD) There’s development of old characters and a whole host of new ones that I fell in love with. In this book, we get to see more worldbuilding and magic – but what we get even more of are CHARACTERS.


Throne of Glass week continues! Heir of Fire absolutely knocked my socks off and turned me in a rabid fangirl of the series.
