Another that may be more like a 4.5/5 starsStarts off heartbreaking, but faded toward the end for me. I kept waiting for something bad to happen but I know it's coming next book! Still loving these characters. I just love Raisa so freAKING MUCH GUYS. Team Raisa forever.I mean everyone else is okay but RAISA.

4.5 Stars. Can we just sit here for a moment and appreciate the level of detail and artistry put into this series? This series has rattled its way into my favorites list. It is nothing short of epic.This book picks up exactly where book 2 left off. Raisa is running for her life, and you guessed it... Han is racing after Raisa. Pretty much the entire first quarter of this book feels like a race. Even my heart was pounding. This book felt much more action packed than the previous two - without the...

Not AS good as the second book, but still phenomenal. If you love fantasy that features a lot of court politics this series is perfection.

The best in the series so far! I won't write a proper review now because I have to read The Crimson Crown ASAP, perhaps I'll review them together! Just do yourself a favor and read Seven Realms guys!

Wow. This book was awesome. I read all 517pages in just 2 days... In a way, I was sad for Han and Raisa to have to leave Oden's Ford... but I knew they would have to go back eventually. I really liked all of the character development since the start of this series.. I think it was done very well and it was very believable! I just love Han! It's so strange to see him fitting in so well living in the palace though... Well, of course he's still making enemies. I love that the first half of this boo...

STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND ADD THIS SERIES TO YOUR TR LIST RIGHT fUcKInGgG Nowwwww I just inhaled this book. Then spent an entire day thinking about it. Unable to do anything else cuz I was in a book coma trying to digest everything that happened it was such great feeling * Seriously, though! I keep getting surprised by all the plot twists, the DEVELOPMENT. Consider when we first started the series... we met a spoiled princess and an idiot villager. But now....The village idiot has wandered...

*** 4.75 *** A buddy read with the biggest Fantasy enthusiast at BB&B!!!I am the luckiest Fantasy reader in the world!!! Why??? Because since the beginning of the year I have been blessed with being introduced to some of the most amazingly talented authors and have had the privilege to read those already exceptional artists most exceptional contributions to my favorite genre!!! The book fairies have decided to be good to me this year, maybe feeling sorry for my none existent Real Life, and have

Re-read 2016Oh My God...why aren't more people reading these books?!Even better the second time around! I'm so glad I decided to pick these books up again. I guess it was just a fear that they wouldn't be as good as I remembered them that kept me from cracking 'em open sooner, so I'm happy to report (unlike some of my previous favorites) this series still stands up to the test of time.So, yeah.I WAS RIGHT BIOCHES!Original review: 2012This is my new favorite series. Without a doubt, I will be fir...

Rich, sexy, layered, enchanting, riveting and enthralling. I don't know how much more I can say about this series that wont be repetitive from my first two reviews. What I can say for sure is that rarely has any author achieved such excellence in high fantasy for young adults. Actually YA high fantasy is rare, and rich fantabulous world-building with three-dimentional fully-developed characters is even more rare. So this book and the rest of the series are truly a gem in their kind.Cinda Chima i...

"Its unfortunate when so many people are trying to kill you that you can't sort them out." I love these books. I love this series. I'm 200000% not ready to finish this series and leave these characters behind. I'm semi torn as to how to rate this book. This book was crazy intense and a lot happened in it but also a lot didn't happen. There were so many twists and shocking revelations, but plot wise there wasn't AS much happening in this book as there was in book 2. Han and Raisa are phenomena

❝She’d been born for this—and raised to it. She’d fought for it, and at times she’d thought she might die for it. She had a long history of tragedy and triumph behind her, and a lifetime of hard work ahead of her. It was time to get started.❞ Rating: ★ ★ ★ ¾Though I still enjoyed The Gray Wolf Throne, I felt that it suffered the "middle book syndrome". The pacing of the story was consistently a bit slow throughout the whole book, and it definitely wasn't as great as The Exiled Queen.

"Nearly all my life I've taken what I wanted, when I wanted it, with no thought for the future, since I wasn't likely to have one. Do you know how hard this is for me? Do you?" 4.5 stars Dear lord...the feels, the feels! The goodness train keeps rolling. Lives are at stake. Love is at stake. There's danger, magic and intrigue aplenty!There are no dragons though. Ah well. I still don't know what to say about fantasy books or how to sell them. If you don't read fantasy, you're really m

I have lost everything. Then he corrected himself. Every time I think I've lost everything, I find there's still something else to lose. Here's the thing: I adore this series. I adore Han. I adore Raisa. I adore Amon and Dancer and Cat. I adore the subtle action and almost too perfect to be true romance. I adore the writing, the humor, the wit, and the friendships...but most of all, I adore how it makes me feel. As a reader, I've evolved in ways I never imagined possible. At one time, I wou

Edit I am almost finished with this series and I am heartbroken: ( I want more books!!!So some of the images coming to my head while reading. FRTC 4.75* it is by far the best book so far! I did not like book 2 as much but this one really got down to business ( at some point I even had to fan myself)EditCrow reminds me of Feelings and moods going into this book...

4.75⭐️This series is too fucking fantastic. I can’t... this is just too much! I rarely RARELY ever read a book where I don’t come out the other end complaining about one thing or another. However much I love the book there’s always something that I’m let down by. This is, by no means, the case here. By far, it is not! Where do I begin? And why am I not giving this 5 starts? I loved everything! The plot. The world. The political intricacies. My adorable, incredible characters. EVERYTHING!

Why isn't this series getting more spotlight? It's been released years ago, yet I rarely see it around. It's high-quality entertainment. I wouldn't say it's an all-time favorite but it did manage to get 4 stars for every book so far. It also got better with each. This will be a spoiler-free review.This one started slow especially since we had a lot of traveling in the beginning but worry not, soon someone gets stabbed and then I couldn't put the book down. What's surprising about this book is th...

AT SOME POINT, I "WILL" TAKE BACK MY THRONE!I loved this book, I love this series! It just keeps getting better! Yay! I know the last book is going to be awesome too, although I dread what might happen! So Raisa is out on her own waiting for when it's safe to come back home. One of the jerks is killing people left and right, she has assassins looking to kill her and other people so she needs to stay in hiding. She is worried about Han and Amon. One day someone does come and finds her at an inn.

“I have lost everything, Han thought. Then he corrected himself. Every time I think I’ve lost everything, I find there’s still something else to lose.”HOLY SHIT THAT WAS BLOODY EPIC. Let just say that this freaking book was everything I wanted in life and I couldn't be more happy about it!! I'm so in love with the story and this characters, I think I could literally read a million books about their adventures and I'd never get enough of them!Now I'm super excited to read the last book, even thou...

I have definitely learned to like these books ^.^ On to the last one! RTC

Edit 03/12 : More I think about this third book (and trust me, it's in my mind A LOT), more I wonder why I didn't rounded up to 5. Done now - The Gray Wolf Throne and The Crimson Crown were fabulous in their own way and entered my favorites all the same. So 5 stars it is. "Byrne, we need to do a better job of protecting the queen," he said. "Before we know it, she'll be showing off old battle scars to her ladies whenever she's in her cups. It won't help our reputations any." 4.5 stars . Se...
