This review contains spoilers for the first two Throne of Glass novels, and possible slight spoilers for this novel. Here be monsters! Heir of Fire is the third book in the Throne of Glass series, which follows the adventures and exploits of Celaena Sardothien, world-famous assassin, King’s Champion, and…heir apparent to a kingdom thought to be lost forever, apparently. Oh! And she also has magical powers. Celaena has been sent to a far off land (due to some machinations by Chaol, who was doing it […]
Do you have a clue what happens now?
This is the sequel to Throne of Glass, the first in a series of at least four books. Again I find myself having started a series that has not yet ended. I hate that. Anyway. In Throne of Glass, Celaena Sardothien, a world-renowned assassin, participated in a competition to choose the King’s next Champion. Celaena, being no fan of the king, was only competing to save her own life, but, since she’s basically a killing machine with pretty hair and a fondness for reading, she […]
I am not throwing away my shot…
This is the second book (and series) I’ve read by Sarah J. Maas, and while I enjoyed the other more, I still plan on continuing with this series (mostly because the second book in her other series doesn’t come out for months BOO HISS). Celaena Sardothien is a world-renowned assassin who has been enslaved in a work camp for the past year, for…I just realized I have no idea why. I guess for being an assassin and because the king doesn’t like her (the feeling […]
I will send a fully armed battalion to remind you of my love*
I don’t read a lot of Fantasy novels. It’s not because I don’t like them. Fantasy is one of those genres that I enjoy when I accidentally start reading it but, when I go looking for it, I have a hard time deciding what to read. The genre is just so HUGE, and there are so many different series, and I don’t want to waste my time on ones I might not enjoy, but how do I know which I WILL enjoy without actually reading […]
Spoiler alert, Beth dies (better put the book in the freezer)
I have a confession to make. I never read Little Women as a child. I KNOW. For someone who eventually latched onto Jo as, like, main role model number one (tied with, I don’t know, Elizabeth Bennet and Hermione Granger, probably), this is just unacceptable. I finally read it in high school, which I suppose means I actually DID read it as a child, but teenhood feels so much different than childhood, yeah? Plus, the only reason I read it, I’m fairly certain, is because […]
I am Debbie Downer or: I reread of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and now I have SOME SADS
This review is crossposted from Ashley‘s funtastic Harry Potter Medicinal Reread. Thanks to Ashley for assigning me these final chapters of Order of the Phoenix, some of my favorite chapters of the whole series. Original review here. The battle is over. The war is just beginning. Harry Potter has survived, but only to be thrown into grief once again. I love so much about what JK Rowling gets right about children (and, you know, people in general), but one of the things I love […]
