Flash Review: Empire's Exile
Empire's Exile, the final book of the Empire's Legacy series. Thorpe continues to impress.
I first read Empire's Daughter on a plane to Oregon. That book hooked me into Marian Thorpe's precise and descriptive writing style. Her worldbuilding is always superb, and her characters relate and connect to one another with a depth unmatched by many writers.
Overall, the Empire's Legacy series is a unique blend of fantasy and historical fiction which should attract readers of both genres. I loved this whole series.
While neither Empire's Hostage nor Empire's Exile matched how I felt about Empire's Daughter, both books are worthy sequels to what I consider to be one of the greatest works of fiction I've read. In Empire's Exile, we see Casyn and Lena travel the world in search of a solution to the problems faced by their respective homelands.
Their journey is long and treacherous and filled with moments of sadness, betrayal, power, and greed. It's a brutal tale. But it's worth the journey.
I'm excited to see where Thorpe's "sequel" trilogy takes her world. I'm sure it'll be as great as Empire's Legacy.
Four Stars for Empire’s Exile.
