Rating: 1。2/5Although is isn't really made clear from the accompanying blurb， this is "Young Adult" fiction。 This book is certainly not the "near future thriller" that it is described as being in the Amazon Editor notes。There is a marked absence of proper scene setting and depth of characterisation。 It doesn't feel like the first book in a series， it feels more like you have been dropped into the middle of an existing one and are simply expected to know the background。 The action is pacy， but it Rating: 1。2/5Although is isn't really made clear from the accompanying blurb， this is "Young Adult" fiction。 This book is certainly not the "near future thriller" that it is described as being in the Amazon Editor notes。There is a marked absence of proper scene setting and depth of characterisation。 It doesn't feel like the first book in a series， it feels more like you have been dropped into the middle of an existing one and are simply expected to know the background。 The action is pacy， but it is all too superficial and clichéd。"Exiles" is YA science fiction， but not a particularly good example。 It may have made for a passable short story / novella， but as a full-length novel it falls woefully short of the mark。 "Amazon First Reads" really needs to make better material than this available to its customers。 。。。more

Outstanding。 It's nonstop action in a fascinating near future， with twists and turns， deliciously crafted characters and a sci-fi showstopper overall。 The tech and futuristic Los Angeles is a scary look into what's coming and what a tech billionaire could do， whilst exploring the enthralling dynamic between rival twins。 Best book I have read this year and so glad to hear there is a sequel coming not too far in the future！ Would also highly recommend their previous series Rule of One when you are Outstanding。 It's nonstop action in a fascinating near future， with twists and turns， deliciously crafted characters and a sci-fi showstopper overall。 The tech and futuristic Los Angeles is a scary look into what's coming and what a tech billionaire could do， whilst exploring the enthralling dynamic between rival twins。 Best book I have read this year and so glad to hear there is a sequel coming not too far in the future！ Would also highly recommend their previous series Rule of One when you are done flying through the pages of this one。 。。。more

Exiles was fast-paced and kept you intrigued for sure。 However， I felt like this needed a lot more explaining。 I felt myself unattached to most all the characters as I didn't understand their motivations or what made them who they were at that point in the story。 I had a hard time connecting。 Who is this and why are they like this？ I think a little more hashing out of the backstory would be so beneficial to helping the reader connect to the chaos that is going on instead of feeling like being dr Exiles was fast-paced and kept you intrigued for sure。 However， I felt like this needed a lot more explaining。 I felt myself unattached to most all the characters as I didn't understand their motivations or what made them who they were at that point in the story。 I had a hard time connecting。 Who is this and why are they like this？ I think a little more hashing out of the backstory would be so beneficial to helping the reader connect to the chaos that is going on instead of feeling like being dropped into the chaos and left to figure it out as the story goes。 I had a hard time picturing the characters and their relationships to one another。 Overall， it felt a bit messy。 I like the idea of the story and the thoughts that are explored with nanotechnology and the current poverty crisis and so forth。。。but I think the backstory and characters really fell flat and left me unattached。 I do like a quick， exciting read but this book felt like it really needed more to it to give it some depth。 。。。more

As a fan of grounded sci-fi fantasy， I loved it！Exiles is a great adventure scifi mystery set in a grounded futuristic Los Angeles。 The writers imagine an all too believable future world with haves vs have nots and the influence of rich tech billionaires our society。 There's a lot of fun characters in this that center around an intriguing rivalry between estranged twin sisters。 The world building in this book is great， from the future tech to the realistic reimagining of what our future as a soc As a fan of grounded sci-fi fantasy， I loved it！Exiles is a great adventure scifi mystery set in a grounded futuristic Los Angeles。 The writers imagine an all too believable future world with haves vs have nots and the influence of rich tech billionaires our society。 There's a lot of fun characters in this that center around an intriguing rivalry between estranged twin sisters。 The world building in this book is great， from the future tech to the realistic reimagining of what our future as a society could look like。 There are elements that remind me of Blade Runner， Final Fantasy and other great scifi stories。 I really enjoyed their writing style - which I best describe as cinematic storytelling: plenty of action， mystery and twists。 The story moves quickly and opens up a whole world that I am looking forward to reading more of - so glad there is a sequel！ 。。。more
