'She pulled up fire and light, embers and warmth, the glow of a thousand dawns and sunsets.' 
 4.5/5 stars 
 So that ending was insane. Major plot twist...and it broke my heart. 
 **No intended spoilers but read with care!** 
 There are so many new characters introduced in 'Heir of Fire' that they all kinda swamped my brain in the first few chapters and at the 100 page mark I came so close to giving up on this book (thanks to Sam B. for convincing me otherwise!). The chapters with the witches definitely confused me as well, there were so many different names and I didn't understand how these new witches had anything to do with the other characters but I assume they'll be reappearing in 'Queen of Shadows' when I get to it. 
 Following from 'Crown of Midnight', Celaena is in Wendlyn, where she seeks out information from Queen Maeve, but through that she is also on a quest to control herself and find out things about her past and how she became who she is in the present time. 
 There was so much clear character development in 'Heir of Fire', with Celaena especially! Chaol and Dorian learn to also grow up with the things Celaena has left behind. 
 Yes Rowan was pretty amazing. I tried so hard not to like him after he was kind of a jerk to Celaena at the start of the book, but after he told her the story about his mate I think I forgave him. I'm still not shipping them though because let's face it he's ancient and they're related! 
 The last 100 pages blew my mind and it definitely made up for what I felt like was a slow start. So good!! 
 **SPOILER** 
 What the heck happened to Dorian!! *Sniff* I need book 4 right now!
