This is a good sci-fi/fantasy novel, and well written. However, as book 4 of a series, Seven Realms, it really does not stand alone. Relationships from previous books are aluded to as well as other characters. The books really build on one another. Sally Nelson, Leach Library

This is actually book 1 of the Seven Realms Series. I do not know if this new series is related to her Heir Series. I haven't read the Heir Series, but I read this one, and it never occurred to me that I was missing anything by not having read the other series. It is a decent fantasy story, without too much boring world-building. It would appeal to both boys and girls, as the story goes back and forth between two main characters: Han and Raissa. It's a clean read, but definitely appropriate for high school-aged teens. Kirsten Rundquist Corbett, Lane Library
