Heir of Fire by Sarah J Maas
Dorien had a sad in the last book but he has moved on in this one. Good for him. Celaena’s – sorry Aelin’s – new environment is very different from her old one. She a nobody there, for a starter. With no connections she seems to be at a loss. It’s also interesting to me […]

I DID NOT SEE THAT ENDING COMING HOLY SHIT!!! That’s it. That’s the post. OK, starting right with that curve-ball, I have trouble believing that Cardan isn’t banishing Jude in part because it will keep her safe. He saw what shape she was in when she returned from Queen Orlagh’s court. Jude is going to […]
