lauregalie 's review for:
The Exiled Queen
by Cinda Williams Chima
I can't remember last time when book surprised me as much as this one did. I honestly never would have suspect that I will be so interested in this story. Reading [b:The Demon King|6342491|The Demon King (Seven Realms, #1)|Cinda Williams Chima|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1379482652s/6342491.jpg|6528619] was almost a torture. It was slow, boring and lackluster. But this one? I was really tempted to give it 5 stars.
First of all - I love books which take place in magic schools or assassins schools - something like that. Two of our main characters spend almost the entire book in some sort of academy -. Thanks to this even slower moments were really interesting.
Not that there were a lot of slower moments. This book was so intense! There were so many things happening!
Characters in this one are not as flat as they were in previous book. I fell in love with both Han and Raisa. It was so easy to root for them, to care about them.
The romance was in this book, of course. But it was only an addition - it didn't dominate the entire story and it was quite interesting. Also the infamous love triange didn't occur (like I was sure it would) - which was a nice surprise.
In summary all I can say is that this book is a complete opposite of The Demon King. It's 100 times better. And getting through 1st book in this series is completely worth it. I need to get [b:The Gray Wolf Throne|9409469|The Gray Wolf Throne (Seven Realms, #3)|Cinda Williams Chima|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1312142235s/9409469.jpg|14293500] as soon as possible.
