Full review on my blog: www.thepunktheory.wordpress.com

I can't even tell you how excited I am after finishing Heir of Fire. The story is picking up speed and a huge plot twist is dropped. Admitted, I had seen it coming and had hoped it would happen. Maybe not quite this way but I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it.
First of all, we get to explore a bit of Wendlyn and Doranelle. Magic is still free in the east so you can prepare yourself for some cool stuff. However, not only new places but also new characters are introduced. If Prince Rowan and Celaena don't end up together, I will be so mad. I'm already shipping them so hard.
Well, Rowan isn' the only interesting new character. We first meet Manon Blackbeak, who is on the road to becoming my new favorite character in the entire series. She's a super bad-ass witch and she's awesome. No more words needed.
In Aderlan, the rebellion is brewing and I can't wait to see when shit will finally hit the fan. The King is annoying me to no end. Could somebody please send him to hell?
