For some reason, the first half of this was a little bit slow for me. I read a few books in between Crown of Midnight and Heir of Fire and I think that's why it took me a little while to get back into this world and the characters. But at least I've learned to continue straight on with a series (whenever possible) for maximum enjoyment, which is why I started Queen of Shadows immediately after finishing this one. This installment was action-packed! The third installment in a series tends to be my favorite and this is no exception. I loved the change of scenery and introduction of new characters to keep the plot fresh. It's already evolved so much from the first book. Maas' world building skills are wonderful, in my opinion, and I've enjoyed her take on character development. Recent plot twists make me want to reread the first two books. I feel like I didn't enjoy them as much as I could/should have. Those saying that this series only gets better with each new installment are not lying!
