The Exiled Queen by Cinda Williams Chima
5.0

I absolutely adore this series. I don't know why I waited so long to read this book! Although I'm glad that I have a copy of the next book at hand...which now I hear is book three in the four book series!

It has been a while since I read The Demon King but it wasn't hard to get caught up in the incredible world that Chima created and remember the fantastic characters that seemed like long lost friends! It's been amazing watching these characters grow, just in these first two novels.... especially Han! Love him!

High fantasy can be amazingly entertaining.... or amazingly boring. Chima is definitely under the amazingly entertaining catagory. These books are epic! And I don't just mean the size. You feel like you are on these journey's with these characters. That you're traveling with Han and Raisa to Oden's Ford that you are facing their obstacles with them and overcoming them along side them as well. Chima's writing goes well beyond just creating a fantasy world. It's addicting.

An intricate plot with betrayals and lies... forged alliances and friendships.... you never know who is trustworthy and what will happen next. The pages fly by much to quickly and you won't be ready for the story to end! I can't wait to devour the next book in this series.

One of my favorite fantasy series ever!
