Trade ReviewPraise for The Exiled Queen:
‘Vividly drawn and lusciously executed, the Seven Realms series continues to grow in breadth and detail with this sequel to The Demon King. The story lines are intricately plotted and the characters fully realized, even as questions about truth, loyalty, and power are explored.’ VOYA
‘Duty, love, expedience and revenge fuel the labyrinthine intrigues of this second entry in an epic fantasy series…Seven Realms fans will pore over every detail and beg impatiently for the sequel. Riveting.’ Kirkus
Praise for The Demon King:
‘The Demon King is a page-turner for any reader, regardless of age.’ Robin Hobb
‘Dozens of characters, complex and distinct in personality, are placed with jewel-like precision, set off by dark glints of villainy… [readers] will clamor for the sequel.’ Publishers Weekly
Praise for Cinda Williams Chima:
‘Centuries of wizardly scheming, slavery and slaughter reap apocalyptic fallout in this final volume of Chima’s trilogy… Heroes and villains alike are swayed by achingly human motivations into disastrous choices with devastating consequences…The resolution is—like the end of childhood itself—tentatively hopeful, if not triumphant. A superlative accomplishment.’ Kirkus.
