The Exile review

December 23, 2024 - Reading time: ~1 minute - Category: reviews

A nice novella that fills in some backstory for a few characters that weren't very fleshed out in the main series.I like this scheme of interspersing bigger, multi-POV main novels with these shorter novellas that fill in gaps in the worldbuilding and character development. The Exile is probably the strongest book in the series so far. It moves at a breakneck pace with cover to cover action, and does more to flesh out its characters in less than 200 pages than the main books do in 800. Granted, we're working with a much smaller and more intimate cast, but the character work is much improved here.

These novellas are really required reading for the series.
