alikat07 's review for:
The Exiled Queen
by Cinda Williams Chima
4.25 stars.
I really love this series! Both Han & Raisa are such complex, interesting characters with flaws and strengths and of course exciting adventures. I especially enjoy that both of them star in the story not just one.
I found the beginning a bit slow - especially Raisa's part where she was obsessing over Amon, etc. It was much better when she focused on training and other things.. Anyway, it is the way of a YA novel to fixate on these things and it is a small part of the book compared to most YA novels so I shouldn't complain too much!
I also really enjoyed Han's training. I love how he can reinvent himself and not give a crap what anyone thinks of him. He's my favorite! I also enjoyed the grumpy, enigmatic Crow.
I can't forget Firedancer who also grows from a grumpy teen to a cool almost adult in this book.

I dislike that Amon seems doomed to only love her... um, no. I really dislike that trope of the lovesick champion. Why can't he wait like a little bit longer and try and find someone he loves to marry? I mean like a rational person. Instead he just decides to settle. I get family obligation and all. I prefer books that have more than one ship and one heroine everyone fixates over. Anyway rant over.I also really enjoyed Han's training.
