I enjoyed this novella immensely. 

Where I didn’t like The Fall, for its action heaviness, The Exile was perfectly balanced in that regard. It also really helps that we already know most characters in this Novel, as it’s telling the backstory of Dayne Ateres. A character I found very intriguing in Of Darkness and Light, and I’m very happy to learn more about. 

Ryan Cahill’s writing keeps steadily improving and I’m starting to see where this is going. The novellas really help flesh out this story and make everything blend together in one stunningly epic story.
