Product Description
From Booklist
Book two of Wells' Exiles Saga purports to conclude it and, indeed, provides an adequate resolution to the story. If Wells has actually resisted the temptation to write a trilogy or more, he is a man of antique virtue--one who also has a fair number of literary gifts, including those for pacing, world building, and freshening virtually archetypal fantasy concepts and characters. Wells' hero, while given the warriorlike appellation the Major, has a reluctance to be heroic that gives him depth; nevertheless, his demonic opponents give him a serious fight and, though overcome in the end, put readers in real suspense. The rebellious, demagogic Dreamer is reminiscent of Patrick Buchanan, and Akratil is a persuasive villain as, by both material and magical means, he sows doubts that nearly turn the tide before the final victory. Good, solid, satisfying fantasy fare. Roland Green

A Excellent Conclusion...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Exile's Challenge (Mass Market Paperback)
I picked up the first book and a whim, and loved it. The second is just as good as the first. I am not this man who will write up a HUGE review on all the details of the book. All I can say is as I read the book, I actually felt the impending doom.. and at times, I even wondered if this was truly the last book. I read alot of fantasy, so, most of the time, I know the good guys will win.. but, this, even though I knew they would, I was still guessing. If you like the first, you'll love the second. My only complaint, I honestly think Mr. Wells could have made this into a trilogy.. :)
