A review by bookish_babe
Kingdom of Exiles by Maxym M. Martineau

5.0

Definitely not what I expected. It took me a few tries to push on with this book. The premise was just so unlike anything else I've read and at first that was off putting but after a few chapters I realized it was amazing, The story is unique. Not just a fresh take on an established concept but a truly unique story that I honestly can't really compare to anything else. The world-building is fantastic. The characters are thoroughly developed. And the story line manages to suck you in and leaves you wanting more. I already cannot wait for the next installment, Leena is everything I want out of a heroine. She's brave and stubborn and willing to bend the rules when necessary. She's not some wilting flower and watching the bit of romance unfold between her and Noc gives you the feels in all the right places. I cannot recommend Kingdom of Exiles enough. If you love the action and character style of the Kate Daniels series mixed with the imagination of Harry Potter then you'll love this book!
