Narration Supposing Books The Ruins of Ambrai (Exiles #1)

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.

A thousand years ago, Mageborns fled prejudice and persecution to colonize the planet Lenfell—pristine, untouched, a perfect refuge for those whose powers were perceived as a threat by people not gifted with magic. But the greater the magic, the greater the peril—and Lenfell was soon devastated by a war between rival Mageborn factions that polluted land, sea, and air with Wild Magic and unleashed the hideous specters known as Wraithenbeasts.

Generations after that terrible war, with the land recovered from crippling wounds and the people no longer threatened by genetic damage, Mageborns still practice their craft—but under strict constraints. Yet so long as the rivalry between the Mage Guardians and the Lords of Malerris continues, the threat of another war is ever-present. And someone has been planning just such a war for many long years, the final strike in a generations-old bid for total power....

Article About Books The Ruins of Ambrai (Exiles #1)

I loved this book, but I would recommend against picking it up. If you read this and the sequel, the story draws you in and leaves you wanting to know what happens next, along with a bit of what happened in the past as some of the backstory has not yet been revealed. But the third book in the series is MIA, and has been for decades. It may come out one day, it may not. However, my feeling is that reading something that leaves you this hungry for more is just an exercise in futility until that

This book starts the second trilogy/series I've read from Melanie Rawn and it's better than the Sunrunner books, in my opinion. Fantastic characters, fantastic story world, fantastic plot. The book was an easy read from cover to cover and left me wanting more. Fiesty Sarah is fun and she and the Bard deserve eachother. In more ways than one. I laughed, I sat on the edge of my seat and oohed ad aaahed with each new chatper or development. I'd recommend it for anyone with the following warnings.

TL; DR version: With the intricacy of R.R. Martin's popular series A Song of Ice and Fire, the spywork and cultural undertones of Tamora Pierce's Daughter of the Lioness series, and Melanie Rawn's own unique and very clever gender role reversal twist, The Ruins of Ambrai is a must-read, especially for lovers of strong female characters.Full review:At nearly a thousand pages, this is a monster of a book, and I have to admit that I got stuck at the last 100 pages of resolution. Once I knew how the

Although I LOVED this book and the second one in the series, I do NOT recommend that anyone read either of them, YET. The third book has never been written and it has been over 12 years since the last one was published. If and when the final book comes out I will change this rating, but so many unanswered questions/cliff hangers really spoil the first two books.

This is apparently the first book in a series. At >800 pages it probably should have been two books. However I understand why it wasn't broken-up; looking back I have no idea where I would have chosen to split the novel.On the minus side this book was a slog. A SLOG. It was very hard to keep track of characters: there is a metric fuck-ton of them and they all have very similar (and in some cases identical, damnit) names. And then there are only a set and small amount of clans (called Names)

Not sure how I feel about this book at the end: I really liked it for the first half (up to ~p260), but then it started to seem that all the female characters were the same person (I guess Cailet seemed a bit distinct from her sisters), and inconsistency within the same character (I seem to recall Sarra first urging Alin to try at suspected Ladder, and then when they come across another suspected one, completely forbidding him from trying it until they had given it careful consideration.

After having gone through Melanie's Dragon Prince series, which I really enjoyed, I was happy to pick up this one too as I liked her writing style and the way she told her stories. I wasn't disappointed and was hooked pretty quickly. Character development was good with people that you can really start to care about (unlike some novels where you start hate the main characters and want the bad guy to kill them already just so you don't need to read yet another paragraph with them in it). Like her
