Seven Realms series by Cinda Williams Chima is one of my all-time favorite series. And when I knew that there would be its prequel called Shattered Realms, I should have it! Flamecaster (book 1 of Shattered Realms series) is set 20 years after what happened in Seven Realms. I'm so glad to be back to this magical world and meet new characters! There are magic, adventure, lovable characters, twists, intrigue, romance, heartbreak. Overall, I really love this book!
