The Exiled Queen (Seven Realms, #2)The Exiled Queen by Cinda Williams Chima

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Bwah, okay. I thought the first book in this series was mostly set up. What I didn’t realize was that it was set up for every teenaged character – the princess, the Malfoys possibly evil children of the head wizard, the former street gang leader, seriously everyone -- to go off to boarding school together.



I kind of just want to pinch this book’s cheeks and call it a dear young thing, you know?



(Though I might pinch a little hard and also point out that having multiple characters with disabilities is pretty nifty, but you know at least one of them need not be bitter and angry, oh and also that bit where he gets his legs back temporarily because as we all know, wanting to be able-bodied is the only really important character trait of characters with disabilities? Yeah, no one is young enough to get away with that bullshit).
