"A great sequel to the Seven Realms series! I think Chima is excellent for coming up with all these ideas for her story. I loved every moment of the Exiled Queen and can't wait for another book featuring Hans and Raisa. One more thing, I love it how where ever they go Hans and Raisa always seem to bump into each other... :)"

" it was soooo good!!!!!!! aaaaaa i cant wait for the next one to read!!!!! but i do have to say i got tired of Han a little many times i just wanted to read Raisa's point of view but overall it was great!!!!! "
— Krista, 1/25/2014" So, I found I am bugged by all the soap opera relationships between characters. "
— Lindsay, 1/23/2014" This was a great Book!! the only part i disliked was the cliffhanger ending! "
— Tom, 1/19/2014" This is a great series. It reminds me a little of Whalen's The Thief series. The characters are really well done and there is a great balance of intrigue, frustration and revelation. I can't wait to get the next one from the library. "
— Kelly, 1/10/2014" 3.5 because I didn't like the ending. I'll update this review later. "
— Nichole, 1/1/2014" I absolutely loved this book! Chima continues to impress me making book two even better than the first book. I love the twists and turns of the plot and the way the characters change, adapt and grow. I am only saddened to see that I am going to have to wait until September to read the third one! "
— Carrie, 12/31/2013" I really enjoyed the continuation of the story and to see the growth and development of the characters. It's a captivating story that keeps me interested. I didn't like the abrupt ending to the story or the cliffhanger into the next. "
— Sasha, 12/1/2013" I really loved book #1. Book #2 started out right where the first one left off. I was excited to see Cuffs and Risa finally meet but they really didn't until later in the book. I got kind of bored when the kids were in school. Good ending, which will make book #3 exciting. "
— Rosey, 11/22/2013" I am loving this series more and more. A great sequel to the first book, looking forward to the next one. "
— Q., 9/14/2013" This series just keeps getting better. I'm enjoying all of the characters and I'm wondering what will happen next. Excited to read the next one. "
— Kristy, 7/17/2013" I probably would've given this 4.5 stars if I could, but as it is, I'm giving it four stars. "
— Rita, 1/20/2013" Yes it was a good book but it took me at least 100 pages to remember what happened in the first one. "
— Amber, 11/22/2012" Pretty good didn't get anything settled though. Review to come . "
— Chakara, 11/7/2012" I really enjoy this series, and I think Cinda is an excellent writer. This is a book you wont want to put down. I look forward to the final book in the Seven Realms series. "
— Michael, 11/1/2012" I am going to be sooo lost when I finish the last one, I love this series! "
— Mary, 6/5/2012" I like the characters in this story but I get really tired of 2nd books in a trilogy that are almost throw away books. Ready for the third book. "
— Brandielle, 4/2/2012" still really liking Cinda Chima, but getting a little "wizard-ed" out. Maybe I better pace myself. Plus I'd rather wait til a whole series is already released. Bummer to find out the 3rd of the 4-book series doesn't come out til Sept. 2011. I hate waiting. "
— Jo, 9/27/2011" LOVE IT can't wait for the next novel!!! "
— Displaa, 6/27/2011" I can't believe I have to wait for #3! I stayed up late to finish it last night. I love this series! "
— Carolyn, 6/20/2011" One of the best books ever! I love the characters in the books, especially Raisa. "
— Celise, 6/17/2011" Not as good as the first one, I think. This book was more introspective than the previous one. It gives you a lot more insight into the characters, especially the "villians", but it wasn't as wowing as the one before. Still great and leaving me dying for the next one! "
— Alyssa, 6/14/2011" I loved this book! I just couldn't put the book down! This is really a great series. I love the action, the twists and the turns. There's never a dull moment and it just sucks you in from beginning to end. "
— Michellebody, 6/9/2011" Lies pile, romance sparks, and the next book is so far away! "
— Erum, 6/5/2011" Awesome book, great characters amazing plot and a little bit of romance to top it off. "
— Rachael, 5/26/2011" Slow beginning, picked up in the end <br/> "
— Jake, 5/23/2011" I sometimes enjoy fantasy:) this was a good read<br/> "
— Christy, 5/22/2011" This was a great book. I am a little impatient though and am really hoping for a happy ending for Raisa and Han. I am so sad that the next book doesn't come out until September, I just might go a little crazy waiting!!! "
— Sherri, 5/8/2011" Another great book. I can't wait for the next one to come out in September. "
