Sarah J. Maas definitely does it again: the prose is elegant, the characters are fascinating, the plot flows nicely, there's some tying up of loose ends and the opening of new possibilities; you can really feel the story fleshing out and a broader destiny awaiting the protagonists. This book's theme is waiting and preparing, both for the characters and the readers, it seems, since the next one won't probably be due before a year or so. I liked Heir of Fire. The wait-for-more-part, which is deliberately intrinsic, is really its main downside.
