You know those times in life when you feel this deep chasm in your soul and all the emotions get sucked into it? That's what this book did for me. This whole series was beautiful. From the first book it was a crescendo of ideas that were so exhilarating at some points of the book my excitement came out of me in waves. So you can only imagine what happened to me when this series ended so amazingly. There are truly no word to describe how much love I felt for the characters, and the exhilarating c...

This has been such an amazing, compelling ride. I started the series earlier this year and I’m so so glad to have made that decision. Following Han and Raisa was long and occasionally difficult but the end results are completely worth it. This world is so well thought out and it makes me happy to know there’s a companion series that I can start now that I’ve finished the Seven Realms!

Man oh man. This series... The Seven Realms series definitely makes my favorites list!Read this series!(view spoiler)[I loved everything about this book.I loved that Lucious could finally find some peace... although it was pretty disappointing to hear that he was the one that betrayed Alger.. I always liked Lucious and it was just sad to hear about that. At the same time though we learned that Hanalea DIDN'T betray him, so there's that. The ending with Han brining her as a wolf to meet with Alge...

"So many questions, so many stories that needed telling. A story of their own they needed to write. One with a happy ending." I finished this book about a week ago and I still don't know how to write coherent sentences about how much I loved this book and this series. When I finished I was honestly in tears of happiness. It was a perfect conclusion to an absolutely amazing series. I'm just so happy and content with where this series went. I honestly cannot recommend it enough. Let's just talk

✨ Spoiler free for the whole series ✨LOOK OUT, FANTASY WRITERS! SEE THIS BOOK? *pushes The Crimson Crown in your hands*SEE THIS? LOOK AT IT! JUST LOOK AT IT! This is how you end a series : BLOODY. FABULOUS. WHY? WHAT DO WE READERS WANT? Alright. I can think of some things : 1) WE ARE OUT FOR BLOOD. SO. We need IN YOUR FACE! moments with the villains and all those who annoyed the hell out of us. Yes, this is MUCH needed. Nothing's worst than anticlimactic confrontations. Give us GIDDINESS. 2) If

MY BLOG: Melissa Martin's Reading ListWow! It's the end..... I know this series has been out for some time, but still. So Raisa is Queen and people are trying to tell her what to do, kill her, marry her off....blah blah blah. She's having none of that! Raisa and Han are still trying to find their place with each other. Hmmm... I can't give out spoiler so I can't mention that.. crap. Let's just say they want to be together still but it's a hot mess. Raisa is trying to incorporate the wizards and

Perfection. Complete and utter perfection.

That feeling when you finish an incredible seriesbut then you realize you have to say goodbye Mix the previous images and you have me. In the middle of the night. Trying to stay awake. Stomach grumbling with hunger.It's the best feeling ever! “History is written by the victors. The truth is, the villains were less villainous, and the heroes less heroic, than you’ve been told.” A thousand years ago, Alger Waterlow fell in love with Hanalea, the Queen of the Fells. But their love was do...

Ahhh you guys... this was amazing. Ok but first I must fangirl..That. Dance. Scene. Holy blazers. This isn't going to be a long review... but I hope to express just how epic this journey has been.I'm not even kidding... I got teary eyed at the end. -Mild Spoilers-Raisa's journey has been incredible. She is a heroine that I seriously LOVED rooting for. I was not at all disappointed as her journey came to a close. I felt so connected to her and in the end I just wanted all her sacrifices and pain...

An amazing ending to an amazing series.

"Everything's a risk." In the Seven Realms, truer words have never been spoken.4.5 stars I'm so sad to see the Seven Realms series come to an end.Mystery! Intrigue! Adventure! Danger! Magic! Fighting! Forbidden Love! How many rounds of awesome can we squeeze into one book? I don't know the final tally but the count is high (along with the dead bodies). Han is incredible. Were it not for him, this series wouldn't have had the same edge to it. Everyone likes to root for the underdo

The cover. OH MY FREAKING GOD!!! I think I already have an inkling of what will happen!! WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE OCTOBER!?!? Darn! Can't it be like, TOMORROW!?! I feel miserable now that one of my most loved series is finally over! But, oh what a way to end it! I'm all teary-eyed and looking stupid. I wish there's more of Han and Raisa and Amon and Micah and ALL OF THEM. I just love the characters so much, as well as the story. It's not easy letting them go. *sniffs*

My reaction upon seeing the cover:Seeing the release date:Realizing how far the release date is:Realizing how LONG I'll have to wait:Understanding that even though the publisher is not to blame, it is STILL their fault it is so. FAR. AWAY:Realizing that there's nothing I can do about it and accepting my fate:And in the end, realizing I will always love Cinda Williams Chima for delivering such a MASSIVELYBRILLIANTWICKEDAWESOME series:UPDATE: March 13thCinda Williams Chima liked this.And then I wa...

Raisa is finally queen *offically crowned but queen of my heart forever* and she's doing good. Really good. “I have the life I want,” Raisa said. “Oh, I know it’s not perfect, and people are trying to kill me, and nobody in the queendom can get along, and we’ll likely be invaded soon, but other than that…” She really is. Except for the whole....The wizards and clans continue to fight and blame the other, wizards treating them like slaves and clans refusing to make more metals&give the...

Re-read 2016Ha! I love it when a series I read years ago actually HOLDS UP!Mostly, because that means I was right the first time, but also because it means...I WAS RIGHT.Yeah. I'm that shallow.Point is, book 4 was a fantastic conclusion to the Seven Realms series, and you should definitely give these books a try. Especially if you've been on the fence about this one.GET OFF THE FENCE! Original review: 2012Reading the last book in a series you love is always hard. I was so afraid this was going t...

"He's the one steps away, right?" she said. "He knows this is dangerous turf-for both of you. He won't make his move until he knows he can win it all.""But what if that never happens?" Raisa said."He won't settle," Cat said. "He'll wait forever if need be." Man..I was so excited about writing this review. I was so excited to show how much I loved, adored, cherished this series. But now, sitting here, finally able to type out my feelings I think….How could I possibly put into word

“So here's the truth - I love you. I love everything about you – the way you stick up for people even when it costs you. The way you keep trying to do the right thing even when you're not exactly sure what the right thing is. I love how you put words together. You're as skilled with words as any knife fighter with a blade. You can put an enemy down on his back, or you can raise people up so they find what's best in themselves. You've changed my life. You've given me the words I need to become wh...
