storysusan 's review for:

The Exiled Queen by Cinda Williams Chima
5.0

5 stars (even if it didn't start out that way...)

The first 20% of the book was honestly a little boring and a little unnecessary for me...BUT as soon as all the characters arrived at Oden's Ford, I was hooked! I loved the romance between Raisa and Han, even though I wish he would just find out who she really is already!! It's getting so frustrating. Although it's not like he's 100% honest either especially about his lineage...which makes me wonder if their union would result in a "mending" of sorts to counteract the "breaking" their ancestors created.

I was also happy to see Amon and Han form an alliance of sorts at the end. I don't know if this is exactly a "love triangle", but I actually like all the characters and their relationships, even though I support Han/Raisa 100%.

I absolutely hate Micah Bayer and wonder if he was partially based on Draco Malfoy. I cannot wait to see what happens next. This series is COMPLETELY addicting which is something much needed right now.
