The Exiled Queen by Cinda Williams Chima

5.0

Book 2 of the Seven Realms Series. This series must be read in order as it builds the characters, story and world. It has so far been a direct continuation from the previous book. I like the way the characters are growing in these books. While they still have the self-centered ideas of the world as a typical YA fantasy character would, they aren't as whiny or devastating as many are. The pacing was fine, but it can be a bit slow. I expect that from a second in series though. There is a lot of character and relationship build in this one. While it was a bit mundane and slow, it was enjoyable to read and made me interested in picking up the next book to see where things will develop.
