But, you're constantly sitting on edge because you never know if the character you've grown to love is going to live past the next few pages. Third, the author has no problem killing off main characters - not that this happens often.
It focuses on the connections and loyalties between people and family members. People aren't necessarily citizens of a nation/country/state, they are citizens of a family. Second, I love the society the author has created. Ultimately, you find yourself cheering for both characters, and gives so much depth to the story. It's such a neat way to give the reader an understanding of what happens and why things happen. Specifically, how she spends chapters describing the journey/events of one character's life, and then goes back in time and describes those same events from the perspective of another, opposing character. There are so many things that I love about this series.įirst, I love how the author tells the story. Not 'one of my favorites' but THE favorite book of my collection. This has to be my ultimate favorite book. And someone has been planning just such a war for many long years, the final strike in a generations-old bid for total power. Yet so long as the rivalry between the Mage Guardians and the Lords of Malerris continues, the threat of another war is ever-present. Generations after that terrible war, with the land recovered from crippling wounds and the people no longer threatened by genetic damage, Mageborns still practice their craft-but under strict constraints.
But the greater the magic, the greater the peril-and Lenfell was soon devastated by a war between rival Mageborn factions that polluted land, sea, and air with Wild Magic and unleashed the hideous specters known as Wraithenbeasts. The first book of the Exiles trilogy introduces a magical world of political intrigue and family secrets that may determine the fate of an entire nation.Ī thousand years ago, Mageborns fled prejudice and persecution to colonize the planet Lenfell-pristine, untouched, a perfect refuge for those whose powers were perceived as a threat by people not gifted with magic.
