Exiles 1 The Ruins of Ambrai. Melanie Rawn. 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.

Rebecca Huston. I love it when an author takes the time to build a complex, interesting world. But in this one, it's so complex that at times the plot gets drowned out by the explainitis going on from the writer -- this was a book that was gorgeous in tone, and in language, but really needed an editor to trim it down.
Hence the three star review. And I keep hearing rumours of a third book in the series, but haven't seen anything yet. Kate Lansky. Series Exiles. Author Melanie Rawn. Publisher DAW. Release 01 November Subjects Fantasy Fiction Romance.
