The Exile

This is the second novella in The Bound and the Broken series. It's technically about Dayne's time before Of Darkness and Light, but the author suggests reading it after book two. I would agree for the reader's enjoyment. 

The author yet again does a fantastic job making a novella feel like a full length novel. Also again, there is amazing emotion, locations, and action, much like The Fall. From paragraph to paragraph your blood may be pumping, or your eyes may be tearing up, or sometimes both! Dayne has lived through some stuff. 

I love how the author gives us this character's background and struggles. And I hope he continues giving us novellas throughout his writing. I'm impressed in his ability to mix short and long fiction with the same success, and for the same series.  I believe this is his best work yet.
