Hello my lovelies. I’ve decided to participate and give this weekly meme a go. Goodreads Monday is created by Laura Page Turner. It’s a weekly meme that encourages you to post a book you’re excited to read from your Goodreads TBR!
The Demon King by Cinda Williams Chima
Goodreads Synopsis
Times are hard in the mountain city of Fellsmarch. Reformed thief Han Alister will do almost anything to eke out a living for his family. The only thing of value he has is something he can’t sell—the thick silver cuffs he’s worn since birth. They’re clearly magicked—as he grows, they grow, and he’s never been able to get them off.
One day, Han and his clan friend, Dancer, confront three young wizards setting fire to the sacred mountain of Hanalea. Han takes an amulet from Micah Bayar, son of the High Wizard, to keep him from using it against them. Soon Han learns that the amulet has an evil history—it once belonged to the Demon King, the wizard who nearly destroyed the world a millennium ago. With a magical piece that powerful at stake, Han knows that the Bayars will stop at nothing to get it back.
Meanwhile, Raisa ana‘Marianna, princess heir of the Fells, has her own battles to fight. She’s just returned to court after three years of freedom in the mountains—riding, hunting, and working the famous clan markets. Raisa wants to be more than an ornament in a glittering cage. She aspires to be like Hanalea—the legendary warrior queen who killed the Demon King and saved the world. But her mother has other plans for her…
The Seven Realms tremble when the lives of Hans and Raisa collide, fanning the flames of the smoldering war between clans and wizards.
This book has been in my TBR for AGES. I added it after seeing a recommendation that it would be a great fantasy book for those who enjoyed Throne of Glass series. This is one series that I didn’t see anyone else write or speak about so I’m really curious if I’m going to like it or not.
Have you read The Demon King? Do you think you’ll be adding it to your TBR?
As always, don’t forget to follow for more bookish content!

It must still be on “scheduled” instead of “published”. Thanks for telling me!
