YASeven Realms series.
With her mother's unexpected death, Raisa's life and throne depend on her swift return to the Fells, before the wizards crown her younger sister and the hostility between the Spirit Clans and flatlanders tear her country apart. Chima's tour-de-force world building keeps readers rapt, with cutthroat action sequences running parallel to the political ones. Unresolved issues galore point toward a crackerjack concluding volume.
