The Exile Queen Review

Wouldn't you agree that sequels are great to read? I mean you already invest a considerable amount of time in the story. You know the characters and plot from the first book. Sequels continue with those characters and plots into a new story with more dangerous challenges awaiting our heroes. The downside to sequels is that the story might end up becoming stale and dull along the way eventually leading to a possible reading slump. However in most series you don't get that feeling, but rather you get a stretched out 3 Act setup. The first in the series is always the introduction. Next comes the conflict of the story, both minor and major. Finally ending with the resolution of those conflicts established in the second act. Hence why trilogy are so popular and easy to write. The Seven Realms series has its virtue and flaws, but above those flaws its still a great series to read.

In the continuing Seven Realm series by Cinda Williams Chima, the Exile Queen picks up where you left the first book, the Demon King. In this novel you continue to love and enjoy the growing characters of Han, Raisa, Dancer and Amon to name a few. However this novel with its political twist and turn will test the bonds of friendship and forbidden attraction of everyone involved to the limits . I highly recommend this novel for any serious fantasy lover out there and in need of a great story with compiling dialog in what seem to be a new take on some rather tired fantasy elements in the surprising epic Seven Realms series and don't forget to check out the next installment in the Grey Wolf Throne and the last installment the Crimson Crown. This has been your surrogate crazy signing off, live in let live.
