The book The Demon King by Cinda Williams Chima is very interesting and
captivates the reader. This book
chronicles the lives of two unlikely friends, a princess and a peasant. In the princess's story the princess wants to
go out and experience the world, and really get a feel for the people she is
ruling. However, the current queen feels
that is not a lady like thing to do and restricts a lot of her freedom. Even more so than this problem, the kingdom
is slowly being taken over by wizards who have enchanted the queen, and have
intentions for the princess and a young wizard to marry in order for wizards to once again rule the
kingdom. On the other hand there is the
peasant who lost his dad in the war and must now support his family by any
means possible. One day he stumbled on a
powerful wizard amulet which puts him in the line of fire of the wizards. Though these characters are so different
their fates are intertwined, and both must escape their fates and restore
balance to the kingdom. In my opinion,
this book is a good read for people who love fantasy based novels because this
book does have wizards and magic. Also,
I would recommend this book to people who want to be exposed to different
styles of writing, because the book has two different stories happening
simultaneously and it is really neat how the author organized and chose to
write it. (Dhiraj Peddu Period 4)Sunday, June 3, 2012

This book sounds like a great novel, with lots of fantasy and magical forces. It sounds like its full of adventure, as well as well-rounded characters. It has a familiar plot, where a poor person meets a rich one, and they envy each other's lives because they are dissatisfied with their own.
