Got some free time on my hands, might as well write a review.

Sometimes it's difficult to put yourself in the shoes of sixteen-year-old heroes. Especially if you don't really have the experience of living in the same world as characters and seldom can really understand them. So, here is the author's purpose: not only to tell a story but make the reader feel for the characters.

There are different kinds of first books in the series. The Demon King is essentially an introduction to the story that takes all book. We meet the characters, get to know their life and aspirations, their fears. After a couple of days, the only thing that I can remember is that the plot felt very smooth. There were literally no moments that made me excited or scared (except for a couple where I was irritated with Raisa, the Princess Heir).

I don't want to read the second book right now. Actually, I don't even know if I will pick it up later.
