The Demon King by Cinda Williams Chima
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I’m so mad! I need to read the rest of the “book” soon because I really want to know what is going to happen. 😉
This book reads like it was originally one long story that was broken up because YA don’t want long books (a publisher-type decision). However, this does not work as well for this book because there are lots of open plot threads at the end of the book (hence my frustration).
I enjoyed the characters and plots that wound through this book, although I thought the main character was a little dense to not think that the magicians would come looking for the magic item.
I recommend reading this book when you have all (or at least most) of the series ready to read back-to-back.
