HEIR OF FIRE BY SARAH J MAAS | booktalk with XTINEMAY

[@danielajb1018]

In the first book I was team Dorian, then the second book I was strongly team Chaol, and now after the third book I'm team Rowan. ughhhh

[@melie3054]

Same, these multiple plots twists are messing with my feelings about all the characters so much. 😩

[@hommyhoff1755]

Danielajb I'm so done with Choal. I'm totally team Rowan. Dorian is cool but I prefer them as friends. #TEAMROWAN

[@arantzariquelme1360]

Also, in Assassin's Blade we all were team Sam. Don't lie

[@hannahcolunga901]

i feel you daniel

[@pokecakegirl182]

Danielajb same omg why is she doing this to me.. I think I'm gonna stick with Rowan tho

[@nosstalggia6283]

Does no one else ship Rowan and Aelin together, or is it just me? I will go down with that ship. They would be really good together because Rowan is the only one that understands and accept Aelin for who she really is. As for Dorrian and Chaol, from the start of the book I've never really see Aelin ending up with either of them. I did used to ship Dorrian with Aelin, but I think that was because of their friendship, with them recommending each other books and with the dogs and all that. I really like them together, but not in a romantic way. Chaol, I'm not really sure about him. He's a nice guy but he's having trouble of accepting Aelin. He loves Celaena, but he doesn't love Aelin and Aelin is who she really is. #ROWALENA

So do I!

[@thatboiq4799]

TBH I loved them

[@gracielaivonne7589]

for real!!! I was loving the book so much and then that chapter totally slowed my pace down,because I wasn't feeling it at all. It took forever to get through, but by the end it was great. I can't wait to see how they fit in the war and how they will interact with Aelin.

Omg yes I was complaining so much about it

[@daninmills]

Am I the only one who kind of ships Celaena with...everyone? Like, I enjoyed her with Dorian in book one, I thought she and Chaol were cute in book two, and now that I finished book three I like her relationship with Rowan. I think I'd be okay no matter who she ends up with, as long as everyone is happy. I just want my babies to be happy

[@meganmarie5777]

I ship her with everyone too! Sarah just creates all these great characters that would make an awesome pair with Celaena.

[@potternutmania]

I shipped her with all of these + Nehemia 😂

[@CJDangerfield]

I totally agree

[@cerysmorgan8532]

I understand you, there's just too many people to ship 😂

OMG!!! Same ! I thought i was weird for shipping her w/everyone 😂

[@CreepyCreeper10]

I was a MASSIVE shipper of Dorian x Celaena, but maybe because we didn't see a whole load of them being together lately, I can't help but love her and Rowan being together. I'M SORRY BUT ROWAN IS ADORABLE TO ME OK BYE

I was team Dorian then team Chaol then team Rowan and then team Dorian again I honestly don't even know

[@Cynthiaarenay]

I was team Dorian/Chaol in the first book, complete team Chaol second book, then turned my back on chaol and became rowan because chaol was just like udeydgeud towards Celaena in my opinion in the third

[@theblueumbrella3468]

Same

[@ashlyncarr6881]

I was like I love Chaol and Calaena and nothing can change that!!!! And then I met Rowan..... lol now I ship Aelin and Rowan together soooooo much. I don't know who I am anymore either.

[@buddhism1018]

ASHLYN C but aren’t they both blood related?

[@patchblue77]

I have literally had a different ship EVERY SINGLE BOOK. Like I am COMPLETELY confident in one person and then BAM! Right now I ship Rowan and Celeana so hard. They are literally perfect. But ugh that's how I felt about Chaol. Compared to Rowan though, both Chaol and Dorian seem like useless to me. I even shipped Luca and Aelin for like one page and same with Aedion. Stupid love hexagon.

[@actress5256]

Agreed!!!!!! I truly do adore Rowan though. I'm hanging on to that ship for dear life

[@kasienka4009]

Ashlee Chaidez Same.... Rowan is just..... Ship them forever.... But, then Chaol is just like maybe?

[@actress5256]

Yeah I loved Chaol too

[@Martu_CAS]

+Ashlee Chaidez You my friend stole the words out of my mouth. It's just that after all Rowan's badassery (is that even a word? no? well it is one now) Chaol and Dorian are meh. I was Team Chaol back in the first two books but I'm definitely Team Rowan now. I also shipped her with Luca and Aedion, I think I shipped her with every single person in the books except for Dorian. I can't wait for the fourth book to see what happens, I'm secretly praying that Sam isn't actually dead and that he somehow meets with Celaena. I would love if all the guys just held an epic battle for her love. I also want Nox back, he was really cool and I think he might make an appearance in one of the next books, probably when she starts gathering people for the war against the King. Ok I need to stop now.

[@Cynthiaarenay]

I relate so hard

[@cosmogryal610]

TEAM ROWAN FOR LIFE Y'ALL

[@jennaclarek]

I was on Chaol's side for a LONG time, but honestly I think at this point I think that either Celaena's gonna find someone completely new and pair up with them OR I'm kinda hoping she'll realize that she's bad-ass on her own and so she won't end up with anyone but like Rowan as her BFF. Also this review was extremely entertaining

[@katelynimina8439]

I think that gonna happen, or at least I hope.😁

[@emilymarie173]

I'm totally team Rowan. I want them to be together he's my favorite character other than Celaena but I know its a pipe dream because Rowan already had a mate or whatever but a girl can still hope! I used to be team Chaol but after he said he couldn't accept a part of her I'm no longer rooting for him. Rowan is bae but I wouldn't be too heart broken if she got with Dorian.

[@jennaclarek]

Emily Marie I don't ship Rowan and Celaena at all like they are friends imo. And I have pretty much given up on Chaol as well ): I just think they're too different now to go back to what they had. And I don't think Dorian or Celaena deserve each other really. That's why I ship her with herself haha TEAM CELAENA

[@akemi-ej5545]

Emily Marie are you Ruby from TDM cuz u just read my mind I agree with the fact that Chaol is gone in my mind as a contestant and so is dorian originally I didn't ship Any of them together I wanted her to be a badass chick on her owncand be like #imamotherfuckingsinglepringlesoscrewyou I like the idea of Aelin and Rowan but tbh ROWAN IS MINE KEEP YOUR MITTS OFF!! :D

OMG YES I know you wrote this comment like 4 years ago but oh well lmao

[@TropicalFangirl]

A message to all the Chaol haters out there: -If it wasn't for Chaol, Celaena never would've met Rowan. -She never would've truly moved on. (Sam, Nehemia, etc.) -He protects Dorian no matter what, even though they end up losing their friendship. -He's willing to die for Aelin & Aedion to meet. -He's adorable and you should totally stop hating on him. :)

[@amatullahm2384]

Oh my GOD that scene where everyone said "GET UP"- THAT was the trigger, i couldn't hold my tears back anymore, especially how Sam (was too shocked to see him make an appearence that i just burst into tears) first appeared and then everyone followed, the tears just kept flowing more and more and MORE T-T. The scene still gives me goosebumps when i reread it, its the moment that splits the series between Celaena being Celaena, and then being Aelin.

[@kmichael9452]

IM TEAM ROWAN!!!! I know I'm the only one on this ship but I used to be team Choal but after Heir of Fire.... Choal, honestly where do ur loyalties lie.

ROWAN!!!!! Rowena all the way, but I wouldn't be too disappointed if she picked Dorian as long as Rowan stays in the picture.

[@kerri-lynndunne9942]

Thr Rowan/Celaena friendship was a favorite of mine. I wholeheartedly agree Celaena and Dorian will be together. This is the team that will take down ALL the enemies:Celaena (badass leader), Rowan, Aedion, maybe Ansel (BFF BAMF warriors), and Dorian (kickass boyfriend who weilds magic). Also lets not forget Fleetfoot the wonder dog! Choal can suck it for all I care.

this video was absolutely hilarious and when you started talking about giving a "heartless bitch a puppy" i died

[@invisiblelocket4994]

I wrote a poem about Manon in this books. What do you think? :) "They are not born evil." The Crochan witch had spoken. The words still haunted her Had left her mind broken She was born heartless That was what she had been told But was it really the truth? It surprised her that the witch had been so bold "They made you into monsters, Manon. Made. And we feel sorry for you." Perhaps it was true. Perhaps she was born without a heart. Or maybe the Crochan witch was right with what she'd tried to impart They had been forced to hurt and kill until they were heartless too But maybe, just maybe they could try to start anew She would rebel against her grandmother, she's try to fight back She'd been born with a heart But her grandmother turned it black She'd create a new world where the witches could live in harmony And they'd take back the Wastes and live fearlessly

[@squidy2343]

I teared up a lot at the "Get up" chant...the fact that it mirrored Throne of Glass with Chaol. She feels so low and like she's alone, but it's the ones she loves that help her rise back up again. I really liked that :)

[@BT5PavedTheWay]

I've always hoped she'd end up with Dorian! Their dynamic seems to be more on equal footing compared to her relationship with Chaol. Dorian and Celaena not only challenge each other to think for themselves and question everything they've ever known, they have the kind of friendship that helps strengthen each other. They understand each other: they understand what it's like to be different, to lose people they love because of the king, and the struggles they face every day knowing their identities cannot be hidden forever. Chaol, on the other hand, seems to look down on her too much, and is constantly surprised by her strength as if it is unnatural that she's not a woman doing 'lady-like' things such as looking pretty for the court and frolicking about in dresses and the gardens. He also has this tendency to expect her to change, and not be a 'monster'. And even though he knows that she has lost her family, her home and her people, he still expects her to not lead a rebellion to free the rest of her people, or fight back against HIS king. He also doesn't like that she saves him, and would rather die than bruise his manly ego.

[@louisacanepa6113]

Okay, I was firmly on the Chaolaena bus for the first two books but Chaol just pissed me off so much in this book that I've decided I don't ship them anymore. Definitely don't ship Rowan x Celaena as anything other than platonic best buds (although don't get me wrong, I LOVE ROWAN). Still unsure about Celorian though..... So at the moment I would be perfectly happy if she was just a kick-ass queen without a love interest, even though that probably won't happen

[@ramsells1]

In the first two books I shipped Dorian and celeana and the beginning of the third, but when sorchsa and Dorian got together it made me sad, but then I started to ship Rowan and celeana, also sadly because I knew he couldn't go back with her, but then they broke his blood oath and everything was happy until sorchsa died and Rowan didn't come back with her and now I don't know what to do with life

[@adieblake1864]

So true. I really liked the fact that Caelana had her first time with Chaol... but I was just so irritated that he sent her away. Even though his intentions were good. But hell, Dorian? He didn't even try! F him! Agggh. I really hate hiiim!

[@madelinepalmer1629]

OMG yes! When he said "Do you want me to fight for you?" and she replied "I want you to leave me alone" I was sooo annoyed! Part of me thinks she chose Chaol because she felt bad for him... Dorian always got what he wanted, so I think she wanted to give the underdog a chance.

[@emilymarie173]

Eleni Chimarrides That was me! He said he couldn't accept a part of her and I was like, "Okay asshole switching teams"

[@bookishmischief]

because we Chaolaena shippers, see how human and flawed a character Chaol is, and we appreciate him more because of it. Chaol was taught his entire life to hate and fear magic and all of a sudden the two people he loves the most are magic? That's a lot to take in, he's not just going to be okay with it right away, that being said he never ever stopped loving Celaena and Dorian, he was always there for them and even though people say that Chaol couldn't decide and pick Celaena's side the whole time, the reality is he did pick Celaena's side from the very beginning. As soon as he started working with Aedion to undermine the King, it was very apparent that Chaol would always choose Celaena (just like Celaena will always choose Chaol I might add *ahem ahem* end of COM). Dorian had no idea that Chaol was working with Aedion. Chaol was actually doing something to help Celaena and overthrow the King, actively putting himself in danger, but Dorian was exploring his magic and being lovey dovey with Sorscha (not that there is anything wrong with that, he owes himself to know what he can do but I'm just saying Chaol isn't as bad a guy as everyone likes to think).

Team Chaol for life, I honestly think they will be endgame

[@shainagibson1479]

melanie cunliffe i agree. her feelings for dorian fizzled out too quickly for her to go back to him i think (unless its out of necessity for the kingdoms or whatever) and Rowan is like her blood brother lmao

[@lanyihuang6765]

thebookbasement I totally agree with you

[@abigailnorton6449]

thebookbasement I'm sorry, but that ship has sunk. here's some proof: "But - no. she wouldn't think about Chaol. Not when she was feeling so balanced, clear headed, and GOOD" (394) (the "good" was in italics but becasue i can't use that i put it in caps). that show's how Chaol doesn't make her happy anymore, which proves she lost her feelings for him. then on the next page, she starts to tlak about how Chaol was good for when she was recovering from the loss of Sam and the mines, but how she's changed and they're not compatible. also, the scene that was covered in the video as anti-chaol proof is on 396, if you care to look it up.

I AM CRYING/LAUGHING BC OF YOUR CELORIAN ANTICS I COMPLETELY APPROVE. Also when you’re like “So Sorscha dies” and then grin evilly. Wonderful.

[@ElizaValley]

I'M TEAM CELORIAN ROMANTICALLY BUT ROWAN AND CELAENA HAVE THE BEST FRIENDSHIP I'VE EVER SEEN AND I SHIP THEM AS LIFE PARTNERS. this book made me cry on multiple occasions.

[@kerri-lynndunne9942]

Hell yeah I'm with you!

[@Alyssabahu]

Ok so like this book is amazing but like YOUR PERSONALITY OMG I AM LITERALLY YOU WHEN I FINISH A BOOK LIKE YES

[@pjminion1644]

“Freeze it and then poke it and have crumble into a million pieces” why did I find this so funny 😂

[@miguelgarcia-eg2jw]

Okay is nobody else absolutely in LOVE with Manon Blackbeak? I get goosebumps /everytime/ i read her chapters and ugh they're so great. Her connection with Abraxos and the 13's unwavering loyalty yesss

[@luisareis1824]

OMG SAME! I freaking loved her!

[@miguelgarcia-eg2jw]

ayyy somebody actually responded! like i've never commented but goodness did I love freaking Manon Blackbeak!! We've /got/ to talk about her one day!

[@lilymoon4200]

Hell yes!!! I loved her so much!! I really waited for her chapters!!

[@katecrowley6082]

miguel garcia SAME! I absolutely loved Manon, her chapters and watching her grow as a character was really rewarding for me!

[@miguelgarcia-eg2jw]

Kate Crowley like almost every character developed and grew so well this is probably my all time favorite series. But I don't know there was something about Manson that was just so magnetic. I was so drawn to her and her anger and blindness but also love and ugh everything

[@gildedfoxs]

TEAM DORIAN!!! and a bit Team Rowan??? aaaaaah imsorry imweak

[@KNaz500]

Same. I'd be happy with either xD

[@tacobella6474]

DORIAAAAAAAAN! TEAM DORIAN FOR LIFE!

[@martinazar3972]

same!!! I'm happy with either of them

[@historiapinkman7012]

dORIAAANNN. IMMA GO DOWN WITH THIS SHIPPPP. #celorian can't wait for eos

[@elenatti]

same haha (btw nice profile picture)

[@SelenaGomezzgirl]

“Blow it up with dynamite”….girl you’re incredible

[@angeladavidson2350]

My favorite part was when Dorian called out Chaol for picking and choosing which parts of Celaena to love and not accepting her for who she is. I was like PREACH Celorian 5ever ❤❤❤

[@Sophx16]

I'm still Team Sam and I feel like it's going to be that way forever. I just love him so so so so so much and I've never ever been so sad over a character's death. So excited for QoS

[@sabataassyria]

LITERALLY EXACTLY HOW I IMAGINED THE WYVERNS AS WELL 😂

[@mynailsyournails]

this was my favorite book review of yours so far omg ily

[@juliannadibona1091]

"I knew they were gonna be cancuns" FUCKING DYING

[@moniquehead8540]

The best thing about Heir of Fire was that by the end of the book I stopped caring so much about which couple was end game and was way more excited about the general plot, now I think whoever she ends up with will be badass cause Sarah J Maas is a genius!!

[@meganwinder9212]

IM OFFICIALLY #TEAMCONFUSED

[@hayleyward9168]

I have been Team Dorian since book one, and still am. As you said, I WILL GO DOWN WITH THIS SHIP!

[@Mermaid12108]

Yep. Still not team Chaol. Never gonna be team Chaol.

[@kasienka4009]

Megan Herondale Then which team??

[@kasienka4009]

Oh... Team Rowan here XD

[@Mermaid12108]

Sword Art Online ANIME AJK Team Dorian :)

[@Mermaid12108]

***** Actually, I'm gonna have to stick with team Dorian XD

[@Mermaid12108]

***** Awesome :)

[@morganmack5466]

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG IM SCREECHING

[@gretal3071]

"He's not green." - Christine. That made me laugh so much. I think my favorite part starts on page 365 (I love it so much I know the page) It's when Rowan sees Celaena's back and finds out that she was in Endovier and he is so angry and she doesn't understand why he left. I love their friendship so much. I also did not like Sorscha for some reason. I don't know so when she died I was super happy.

[@krisnicoleb]

this video was hilarious, I love the way your mind works. the whole big fishy thing from finding nemo was priceless.

[@Stephanie-nl9mi]

#teamfoursome

[@werewolfprince]

Yes, I approve. poly ship pls

[@kelseypartridge7909]

Tbh if we had Sam, I'd completely ship a #fivesome That moment when Sarah J Maas convinces readers to support character orgies....

[@martinacardenas1688]

#HECKYEAAAAAH

[@Jessica-kn3qn]

omg agreed #Teamfoursome Even tho i like dorian and celaena better this is best sulution

[@sydneydunning8263]

I was never on dorian or chaols team thank god cause waiting was so worth it. I loveeeeeee who she actually ends up with wink wink.

[@Callmekatielee]

The fact you where imagining Abraxos as a Gronckle is amazing 😂👏🏻

[@ioladear14]

Yes!!!! ♥♥ XD

[@stefaniecoronel1226]

This was so hilarious and entertaining! Loved it! Also, I pictured Rowan as green too! #TEAMCELORIAN FOREVER

[@IchibanOjousama]

lol a Cinderella complex inside our Cinderella complex! :D

[@ioladear14]

XD

[@elig.velasco3594]

Basically

[@agitaleitane8963]

when you talked about Manon and Aelin having to fight each other. I just love it.

[@quinnjacob8941]

Calaena's many names remind me of Jace's many last names ;)

[@mayfia]

And daenerys

[@ikraamxerse3940]

I thought I was weird for getting soo excited about this book 😭😂😂😂 I LOVE HOW HYPED YOU ARE

[@adellemulligan183]

I ship Celaena and Rowan them together would be freaking OMG I can't even like imagine it!!!!!!!

[@jenniferp.1279]

I love how Dorian and Chaol work together at the end of the novel.

[@svvetlanalana]

WHEN DORIAN AND CELEANA FINALLY RELEASED/ UNLEASHED THEIR POWERS I WAS LITERALLY SINGING LET IT GOOOOO LET IT GOOOOOOO OMGAD

[@nianastovall]

lmfao watching this in 2022 after finishing the entire series “rowan’s not a real contender” 😭🤣🤣

[@kajyja]

I have this theory that The Thirteen won't be fighting for the king. They're not eating/drinking anything that smells/tastes weird aka the king's magic that he uses to manipulate people. They'll still be capable of independant thought when the fighting will occur - something the other witches won't be. Maybe The Thriteen will fight on Aelin's side??? And fight agasint the rest of the witches? I don't know. But I think something will come from The Thrteen NOT consuming the magic. It was said so many times it has to have a meaning.

[@ashk2391]

"read and come back" me continuing to watch her talk about manon not reading it as it lies beside me: mhm mhm yeah manon

[@khatijanz4071]

She's trying to break the Jace Wayland/Lightwood/Morgenstern/Herondale record

[@nj66666]

Yeah but at least Jace's first name never changed 😂😂

[@khatijanz4071]

Nandana J I think that makes her win the battle xD

[@nj66666]

Khatija Nz yeah lol

[@myadultlife220]

this video was ace! glad you enjoyed it as much as I did. Now of to read Queen of shadows!

[@sydbugnano8431]

I want Rowan and Celaena to come face to face with Dorian and Chaol and Rowan get all protective and I just love Rowan and Celaena's friendship.

[@cobalt7333]

wow, I never even thought of your Celorian points, but seeing them happen would be so unreal!!

[@19mfl95]

She's like Jace with all the different names. You were hilarious when talking about Sorscha dying xD

[@joanaramacciotti4615]

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!! YESSS

[@weslynclarke]

I absolutely love Rowan, and I would love to see a relationship between him and Celaena, but I feel for Chaol. However, for the majority of the book, I didn't want Chaol and Celaena together because he just couldn't love Celaena wholly, like Dorian said. I love Dorian and Celaena's relationship and I believe they could create an amazing kingdom, and they would be an amazing couple. But I have stronger feelings towards their platonic relationship than their romantic relationship. But, we have three more books to go, and I am so excited to see what is coming. (:

[@yaralppes]

#TeamChaol since the beginning.. #TeamChaol all the way till the end... Throne Of Glass series is so perfect that I wish you could make a booktalk for each chapter of each book haha

[@natalieelessar]

WHEN WILL YOU BE READING RETRIBUTION OF MARA DYER. Im constantly waiting for your book talk on that !

[@Hansibals1]

Me too!!!!

[@daisysmith702]

I just love all the characters that Celaena is paired with, I knew the thing with Dorian wouldn't work out and I really loved her with Chaol but with Rowan it's endgame. I like how Sarah doesn't just stick with one pairing for the characters, it develops the characters so beautifully
