“...hope was stronger than foolishness, and love was stronger than hope. And nothing was stronger than a fool in love.”
We meet Nhari as a young woman who has survived her teenage years in a dangerous prison holding the worst and most dangerous humans from the “civilized” world. We know that Nhari killed her father when she was fifteen and didn’t receive a fair trial. Her evil stepmother wasted no time throwing Nhari to the wolves in a land she believed would kill her stepdaughter. How wrong she was. Nhari holds a secret talent, a hidden ability that allowed her to survive years in the Realm of the Exiled. And now she’s returning to find more elements like her and take back her life. But first, she has to survive, again.
Exiled No More is book one from TL Price’s Exiled Elementals series. I’m currently reading book two because I couldn’t wait to continue reading this intriguing story. I love the world-building of an Earth that has been transformed. Global warming and climate change have made most of the planet uninhabitable. There were times I wasn’t sure if the Realm of the Exiled was actually on earth though it’s referenced as a place that used to be the Middle East. I think there might be something there in the vagueness of how some characters describe it though…
I’m giving this 3-stars because I thoroughly enjoyed this story and want to know how it plays out. However, the constant POV changes and shifting to inner monologues from different characters within the same scene make it difficult to get through at times. The dialogue falls flat for me, and I haven’t quite connected to any of the characters. But I still am dying to find out how the story plays out and where these elemental beings come from. TL Price definitely has an amazing imagination and fascinating lore to tell.
