Escaping Exodus
by Nicky Drayden
Great premise, but I found the romance to be too involved for my taste in an adventure story. The writing was not as magical as I had hoped, the dialogue being somewhat uninspired and very straightforward plotlines, making a lot of the more interesting events fall a little flat. The Matris character I found deeply flawed, not at all the character I had hoped for. She seemed much to unstable as a literary figure, refusing to project a constancy in her personality; disjointed behavior that was left unexplained to my interpretation.
My favorite character was Adalla, the beast worker - she had a great storyline, despite having her share of the romance that I found distracting. Seske was a very believable character, and I identified with her a lot, although I often found her thoughts to be juvenile and repetitive. I enjoyed learning about their world and society, and the imagery was spot-on. I particularly enjoyed the thought-provoking nature of the book, which is a big reason why I enjoy sci-fi in general.
I read this book while recovering from wisdom tooth surgery, so it was an easy read, in a genre I liked, while I was on pain meds.
