The Exiled Queen (Seven Realms, #2) by Cinda Williams Chima - Restarting February 6th 2020

[Cami]

Haunted by the loss of his mother and sister, Han Alister journeys south to begin his schooling at Mystwerk House in Oden’s Ford. But leaving the Fells doesn’t mean that danger isn't far behind. Han is hunted every step of the way by the Bayars, a powerful wizarding family set on reclaiming the amulet Han stole from them. And Mystwerk House has dangers of its own. There, Han meets Crow, a mysterious wizard who agrees to tutor Han in the darker parts of sorcery—but the bargain they make is one Han may regret.

Meanwhile, Princess Raisa ana’Marianna runs from a forced marriage in the Fells, accompanied by her friend Amon and his triple of cadets. Now, the safest place for Raisa is Wein House, the military academy at Oden's Ford. If Raisa can pass as a regular student, Wein House will offer both sanctuary and the education Raisa needs to succeed as the next Gray Wolf queen.

Everything changes when Han and Raisa’s paths cross, in this epic tale of uncertain friendships, cut-throat politics, and the irresistible power of attraction.

1/4 (view spoiler)[Raisa, Amon and the young soldiers are all heading toward Oden’s Ford. I think its a brilliant idea for her to go to the military school. Han appears to be heading in the same direction I do hope they get together despite being distant cousins I think they are fated to be a couple. I expect Micah Bayar goes to school in Oden's ford also. This could be a big problem for them all. (hide spoiler)]

[Gillian]

2/4 (view spoiler)[ This Crow guy is a bit suspicious I don't like the sound of him at all (hide spoiler)]

[Gillian]

3/4 (view spoiler)[ What is going on in the time that Han can't remember when he has been in Aediion. Crow must be doing something the more I learn of him the more I distrust him (hide spoiler)]

[Gillian]

Finished I loved this book also I find i'm really quiet invested in the series :) (view spoiler)[ Raisa and Han are a great couple I hope they can manage to overcome any issues and become the Queen and King one day. I do however feel sorry for Amon. Fiona is the wild card she wants all the power she thinks her brother will get, Micah needs to watch his back. (hide spoiler)]

[Wolf (Alpha)]

Chapter 6: (view spoiler)[I like that Rasia is going to military school. I hope that Han gets to see her and that they become a couple. (hide spoiler)]

[Wolf (Alpha)]

Chapter 16: (view spoiler)[I don't like Crow. I think that he is up to something and that he definitely shouldn't be trustesd. (hide spoiler)]

[Wolf (Alpha)]

Chapter 26: (view spoiler)[I like that Raisa is doing good with her training. I don't like that Han can't remember certain things. (hide spoiler)]

[Wolf (Alpha)]

Finished: (view spoiler)[I am glad that Han and Raisa got together. I don't particualy like Fiona and I think that she need to settle down. I really liked this book. (hide spoiler)]

[Cami]

Chapter 7 (view spoiler)[ Raisa and Amon's relationship is cute, but I can't wait until her and Han meet up, they are so close to each other now! (hide spoiler)]

I'm so loving that this book has a map. I can keep track at where everyone at and from how far in distance. Neat.

Chapter 1-3
(view spoiler)[ Micah beginning to be so much like his father. He's willing to kill the musicians just to keep this amulet business safe. SMH.
Han coming into his powers without knowing. That amulet is mighty power. Giving off a glow on him and all.
Raisa heading back towards the problem. Let's see how this going to work out. (hide spoiler)]

[Lesa]

Chapter 4-6
(view spoiler)[ I knew Raisa was going to help them out of the Waterwalkers hands I seen that one coming. Of course before they left they knew who she really was. At the end of chapter 6 here comes Cat. Han did say it felt as if they're being followed but couldn't find no one. I knew it was Cat. Han fell for Kran crap too quickly. I knew it was something he was up to asking if they selling amulet. Hmm (hide spoiler)]

[Lesa]

Chapter 7-10
(view spoiler)[ aww girl on girl love. It's nice to see Raisa and the Gray Wolf girls getting along. Like Raisa said she don't have female friends. I think Askell know who Raisa is. He's a bit iffy to me.
Dancer and Han made it with Cat. Let's see how Cat get along with everyone. She's not used in being told what she can and can't do. She loves that thug life that's why she keeps trying to get Han to start a new group. I believe she's scared she isn't smart enough for schooling. (hide spoiler)]

[Lesa]

Chapter 11-13
(view spoiler)[ OMG the look on Micah face priceless to see that he knows that Han and Dancer is at the school and are wizards ha. I'm wondering about this teacher Crow. He wants to take Han into the Adeiion world but from what is told it drains your amulet. So is he trying to kill Han. Hmm. (hide spoiler)]

[Lesa]

Chapter 14-17
(view spoiler)[ yeah Han going to need to teach Micah and his cousins a lesson. Crow I'm still not convinced about him he's showing up not as himself I wonder if he's the teacher in the wheelchair. The dean she hates the high lord but how is she's able to teach what she wants with Micah and Fiona in her special class. Hmm. (hide spoiler)]

[Lesa]

Chapter 18-23
(view spoiler)[ aww poor Raisa heart for Amon. He can't even kiss her without now feeling sick to his stomach. Wow that's some glued magical bond there.
Ha Han is learning somethings from Crow got Micah and his cousins to move due to the rats lol.
It's a shame Han still don't know that Raisa is the princess. OMG I wonder how he'll react when he does find out. I can only imagine the shock on his face. I'm almost done with this book if he don't find out by time I finished then that'll be Mystery in book 3. (hide spoiler)]

[Lesa]

Chapter 24-29
(view spoiler)[ too cute that Han and Raisa getting closer. Too bad for Amon. Fiona she's up to no good as least Han caught on. I wish us as readers knew more about what's going on with the Queen and the Wizard. Is they still looking for Raisa. The letters only gives a bit of the story. (hide spoiler)]

I'm so enjoying this series. I see book 3 on the April buddy list so I'll continue for sure. Gotten this far I'll like to know more.

ch 1-5
(view spoiler)[ I'm already loving this one as much as book one. The action hasn't let up and the characters have remained as consistently strong and enjoyable as they were in the Demon King. I've enjoyed watching Han and Dancer struggle with their newfound magic. My heart aches for Raisa being on the run and feeling so cut off from the one friend she has. I get why her guard is distancing himself with the attraction between them, but she needs him with being surrounded by strangers and on the run from her home. (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapter 1 (view spoiler)[ Wow! Gillen is kind of stupid, and Bayer is such an asshole. (hide spoiler)]

Fingers crossed! I'm listening to the audio and so far it kept my interest, but might not get much more listened to util Monday - busy weekend ahead.

[Courtney]

Im listening to it too. I have so many buddies going on though so this one will take me a little longer to finish.

[Courtney]

Chapter 6 (view spoiler)[ I dont understand why Kahn wanted them so bad even after the "King" of Arden said to kill them. (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapter 8 (view spoiler)[ Raisa always manages to get what she wants. I wonder if maybe she has magic in her as well. (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapter 13 (view spoiler)[ Does Crow give anyone else bad vibes? (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapter 17 (view spoiler)[ Starting to think the Ctow might be the Dean or the wheelchair teacher (I cant remember his name). (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapter 27 (view spoiler)[ Hans is working himself way to hard. (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapter 29 (view spoiler)[ Wait! Did Cat just betray Hans?? What the hell? (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapter 34 (view spoiler)[ UGH! Bird is back! (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Finished. Im so glad it picked up in the end.

Courtney wrote: "Chapter 8 [spoilers removed]"

Sorry I've been slacking - really just not loving this one.
(view spoiler)[ I do half expect that Raisa ends up with magic as well. Which I don't like - seems like every character suddenly has magic. (hide spoiler)]

Its okay. I was having the same problem. It didnt get better for me until about chapter 12.

[HeatherH]

That gives me some hope at least.
