Warning: It’s a third book of the Throne of Glass series. If you didn’t read first two books, I recommend to do not read this review.
Book Review
Aelin Galanthynius came back to Rifthold and nothing there is the same as it was before she left. Dorian was enslaved by his father King of Adarlan, Chaol run from the castle and became a head of rebels and Aedion is captured and waits for his execution. Everything she planned had to wait, while she takes care of rescuing her cousin from her enemy. With time and all the events, Aelin needs to face her past and handle her old relation with the king of assassins. It helps her to close this chapter and focus on the future of her court and her friends. A way to free her kingdom isn’t easy but she doesn’t step back even if it becomes harder with each day.
After all the time of training of weavers, Manon and Thirteen go to Morath, place where Perington together with soldiers are situated. They got unexpected orders that results are unpleasant for all witches. Manon still keeps obeying all orders of Perington and King of Adarlan as her grandmother wishes but she also tries to find out where all of these leads and why they need them there besides in the upcoming war.
I completely love this book! It was so good that I just couldn’t put the book down. The actions were so unexpected and brilliant. Aelin is a genius if it comes to planning and intrigues. As Aelin annoyed me very often in previous books, in this one she was just incredible. The reunion her with Aedion was just what I wanted it to be. I couldn’t stop smiling when I was reading about it.
Another part I enjoyed was, of course, the relationship between Rowan and Aelin. They got much closer with the time and one of the worries where it is leading them. I love the way their relationship got more intimidating. The way she starts to tease him and his reaction are exactly what I was waiting for.
I like the way all the stories from the Heir of Fire came together and made the whole. It finally made sense and also surprised me at the end. The ending kept me on my toes through a minimum of 100 pages. The most unexpected events in the book were confrontation Aelin and Manon but also Aelin and King of Adarlan. The first one was brilliant and I think I enjoyed it more than I should have. You will know why after you will read this book.
I feel like with each book this story becomes much and much better. I liked the previous books but this one was another level of greatness. I don’t understand why people hate it.

Quotes
She was fire, and light, and ash, and embers. She was Aelin Fireheart, and she bowed for no one and nothing, save the crown that was hers by blood and survival and triumph.
Fire-breathing bitch-queen.
They joined hands.
So the world ended.
And the next one began.
Sometimes there won’t be a right choice, just the best of several bad options.
If you’re a monster, I’m a monster.
She was a whirling cloud of death, a queen of shadows, and these men were already carrion.
Elegant, feminine, and utterly wild. Warm, and steadfast—unbreakable, his queen.
