** spoiler alert ** 
 Okay, the reason why I gave it 4 stars was because there was tad bit of a problem for me while reading it, compared to Throne of Glass. (I wish there was a 4.5 rating though but anyways..) 
 Well, I most definitely loved the story and how everything started falling into place. It was really action packed and every time something happened, a new revelation would pop up, which made it more interesting and I could not stop reading it. Somehow, I felt like the relationships of the characters were tested, especially Chaol's and Celaena's. At the earlier part of the book, when nothing much was happening yet, I absolutely loved their romance especially Chaol's birthday. Who knew that Celaena could pull off that kind of dinner. A+ for effort!! But with regards to Dorian, I appreciated how he was so understanding of their relationship and basically didn't show a tantrum. HOWEVER, I know deep down inside that both of them are still competing when it comes to her, (it was very much described). 
 A problem started to arise for me when Nehemia died. I was shocked, I did not expect it at all. I started to dislike how Celaena reacted to the whole situation. (FUCK YOU ARCHER). She started to do reckless things because all she wanted was Nehemia. I swear it annoyed me how she was so blinded by trying to get to her when she was clearly dead. I didn't like how she blamed everyone around her, I mean she had some fault in this as well, she was so focused on her freedom, she was selfish when Nehemia talked some sense into her about giving Ellywe the freedom it needed. After she died, I didn't like how she treated Chaol, I think it was rather unfair that he was treated in such a way. So yeah, every time each chapter was just Celaena talking about Nehemia and nothing but Nehemia, it sorta annoyed me. Hence, it felt kinda dragging for me to read it cause it took awhile to get some new action and a new story build up. 
 But when all of the Nehemia talk was done and some new revelations popped up, then I started to realise, that okay, this is it. (CELAENA IS A QUEEN GUYS OMFG.) I can't wait to find out what happens next in Heir of Fire, I'm pretty sure the next book will be a bumpy ride. It's so fucking thick like seriously. Wish me luck!
