Heir of Fire

Wow, friends, it has been too long! Many things have gotten in the way of reading lately and truthfully, I was savoring this one. The third book in the Throne of Glass series has kept me occupied for weeks. I read a little at a time, not like me at all. This is the story of the King's Assassin, Celaena Sardothian, is on a mission to reclaim her throne as queen of her people. She is beaten and broken and not entirely sure she wants the responsibility. She thinks she has let everyone she loves down. She has driven Chaol away. She is hiding from her life. With the death of her best friend Nehemia, she makes a promise to get even with the King of Adarlan even if it means facing her past and taking back what is rightfully hers. The story lines are all separate in this volume. Celaena is off with Rowan, an ancient Fae warrior , who would just as soon kill her as help her. Dorian is trying to hide and contol his magic to keep his father, the king, at bay. Aedion, Aelin's sworn protector, is looking for his queen and finds himself an unlikely ally in Chaol. Then there are the witches, hired by the king to form a squadron of death on the backs of mythical winged beasts. The paths of these characters come to a crashing halt as death, destruction and betrayal find their way into Adarlan. Revenge is on everyone's mind as the characters plot their next moves. Everyone is in peril. My heart is pounding and I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight for thinking about poor Dorian, locked up Aedion and the fact that Celaena and Chaol did not spend one page together in this book. If you are a fan of The Demon King, this series is right up your ally with a little rougher edge. I don't know who I am more in love with now- Chaol, Aedion or Rowan. Celaena is a lucky fictional girl. Spring break is creeping up and books are the plan for the two weeks of rest. Happy reading my friends!
