The Exiled by Sarah Daniels Blog Tour Book Review @TheWriteReads #UltimateBlogTour #TheExiled

A huge thank you to The Write Reads, Penguin Books and Sarah Daniels for including me in this amazing blog tour for these two brilliant books!

Blurb:

Trust no one.

It is six months since the Arcadia set sail for the first time in forty years. But this wasn’t the freedom the inhabitants were hoping for. Esther Crossland did what she had to do, but it has left a trail of destruction in her wake. Now the wrecked ship is abandoned. Its inhabitants are in exile, trapped in sprawling make-shift shelters made up of warehouse, tents, shipping containers.

Esther and Nik, architects of the rebellion, are on the run. Esther is in hiding, desperate to do something to help her people, and Nik seems to have abandoned all hope, on a journey taking him further and further from home. And neither of them want to face up to their true feelings about one another . . .

Not only that, there is a new villain in town. With the fall of Commander Hadley, it’s left to the ruthless Admiral Janek to deal with the traitors, and her own past is beginning to catch-up with her.

Then the shaky ceasefire negotiated by General Lall, Nik’s mum, falls apart. Nik and Esther find themselves in a world of betrayals and double crossings – a game of power, with no one to trust but themselves.

It’s time for the final showdown.

My Thoughts:

This was an epic conclusion to this brilliant duology by Sarah Daniels! Superbly written, and I think, even better than the first book The Stranded. And that is hard to say as that was an excellent start to the story!

We join Esther and Nik yet again in a continuation of the story from book one. Written from multiple characters perspectives, and short chapters, this is a cracking book, that will have you totally gripped from the very beginning! I read this straight after reading The Stranded, and if you haven’t read this duology yet, I suggest you do! An excellent dystopian YA thriller, that is perfect for people of any age! I’m 41, and loved the both of these books! Thank you Sarah for writing these two wonderful novels!
