Sarah J. Maas plans to have the series be six books along with some ebooks. Maas is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author.
“Heir of Fire” the third novel in the series was nominated for the Goodreads Choice Best Young Adult Fantasy & Science Fiction.
This novel tells the story of Aelin Galathynius (also known as Celaena Sardothien) and her fight to take back the throne that was stolen from her doing so she must confront her past.
Galathynius’s friend is trapped in prison of his father’s making. While Galathynius fights to reunite with her long lost cousin so they may fight for their birthright together and take back their kingdom.
When Galathynius does welcome her role as the heir to the throne, she teaches readers to chose who you are, and fight for that.
It also teaches that you must accept your past, but not live in it. Maas also mentors the readers, telling them to live, not just to survive each day.
The end is not a cliffhanger but readers are still anxious for the next installment in the series of six.
The book is mostly for fantasy and science fiction readers. So, look for the next book in the series that comes out in 2016.’
