Book Review of The Demon King (Seven Realms, Bk 1)

The Demon King (Seven Realms, Bk 1)
reviewed on


This is the start to one of my favorite series! I enjoyed this full, complicated world Cinda Williams Chima has created and fell in love with Han and Raisa right away. This is an engaging story of courageous people who face their situations and fight for what is most important no matter what the odds are.

The story of The Demon King focuses on Han Alister, a reformed street lord trying to make an honest living, and Raisa Ana'Mariana, princess heir to the realm, who is beginning to see the true state of the queendom. Both Han and Raisa are fighting to protect what they love without compromising. Han tries to provide for his impoverished family while being hunted by the most powerful wizard in the realm. Raisa is beginning to see that the queendom is not quite so prosperous as she has always believed nor the royal family as popular. Queen Mariana is planning for her future, but is the path she's choosing what is really best for Raisa and the queendom? And if not, how can Raisa make her own path?

This series will keep you turning the pages from page 1 all the way to the last page of book 4!
