Exiles is science fiction this is genera i dont really read much but I am glad i read Exiles because it did grip me and made me want to read it quite quick. Daniel Blythe writing style defently left impact and I like his descriptions and could visualise everything in my head. The characters had lot of depth and you could see them develop through the book. If you like sci-fi you will love Exiles 5 stars Book Blurb In a distant galaxy, Bethany Kane has cheated death.
