Cinda Williams Chima won accolades for her New York Times best-selling Heir trilogy. The first of a new young adult trilogy, The Demon King features a former thief, Han, who's trying to provide for his mother and sister. One day Han, who sports mysterious (and certainly magical) silver cuffs on his wrists, confronts wizards setting fire to a sacred mountain. Now possessing one of the wizards' amulets, Han faces more trouble than he ever could have imagined.

"Not bad at all, I enjoyed the book, but was expecting more action.... I expect, that probably happens in the 2nd book of the series.... Great world building, likeable and downright unlikeable characters, great writing style. I won't rush out to get the next book, but will definately read it some day . I'm curious to find out what happens...and as I mentioned earlier, I expect the second book will have more action considering how this story ends."

" It was a bit hard to get into at first but im glad I continued reading. This story is way better than I could've imagined. Chapter 24 had me on edge. The story is about Raisa and Han and their paths cross but only for a couple of chapters, so that was a bummer because I wanted more of the two interacting with each other. I really can't wait to start reading The Exiled Queen. "

— Giorgia, 2/7/2014" The book went by fast and I was well intrigued but did not really enjoy the story line nor did I like the character jumping. One paragraph it'll be about this character then the next paragraph its another. I found that a little aggravating at times. "
— Laticia, 2/4/2014" Entertaining and well written, but I woudn't recommend for young readers. Teens and up would be fine. "
— Scottandsasha, 2/2/2014" I thought it was a great book. I tore through it. I really connected to the characters. When the book ended I couldn't wait to pick up the next one. "
— Brady, 1/31/2014" I really enjoyed this book. It gets you at the end and leaves you scrambling to get the next book in the series. "
— Vicki, 1/27/2014" Sort of slow in the beginning but definitely sped up by the end. I just wish there was a bit more action in the beginning. "
— Kyra, 1/19/2014" It was okay, I am not sure if it held my interest enough to continue the series. "
— Elizabeth(The, 1/15/2014" This isn't my normal type of book, but I liked it alright, maybe I should read books out of my normal genre more often. "
— Angel, 1/3/2014" I really loved this book. Cinda Williams Chima has a gift for creating really rich characters, and in the case of these ones, I kind of want to adopt them all and take them home with me! I found the storyline to be interesting, and the setting to be beautifully described. "
— Sarah, 12/31/2013" a good easy read and lots of promise of what is to come! "
