Exile

by Lola Kidd

Times are tough for the Northlands Fae. Most of the tribe has been following “Queen” Sophia in her murderous quest to rid the Earth of other supernatural creatures. She’s been unsuccessful and now the tribe awaits punishment for their crimes. Princess Lena, Sophia’s younger half-sister, is trying to hold her people together while keeping her sister in line as they wait. They know the supernatural Council will punish them but they have no idea how bad it will be.
A sudden burst of crippling pain signals the beginning of the punishment. It’s bad enough to make Lena blackout. When she awakes, she finds herself on a strange beach under a purple moon and Sophia is trying to kill her. A young man from a nearby castle saves Lena from Sophia’s wrath. She’s grateful to have safe harbor but Lena is worried about the rest of her tribe. She is desperate to figure out how to return home.
The area looks very much like a place Lena came from except for one very strange thing. The very nice young man who saved her happens to also be a dragon.

I like this idea.

However, the characters are cartoony. There are a lot of things that happen with weak explanations. The good princess isn't supposed to be able to do magic, then saves a whole bunch of people, then complains she can't use magic. From the cover I thought the story would be...more.

Glad I didn't pay for this. Read in Kindle unlimited.

Clean so far, I seriously thought of Disney. Well edited.

Part one of three set the story up well. Good vs Evil sister and evil is setting good up for punishment for her crimes. The punishment banishes the entire clan both good and evil factions off world to another land. They just don't realize for a while.

The good sis wants to protect her loyal people however she is really handicapped by the punishment. On the plus side the dragons that really frighten them turn out to be hot shifters. Both the dragon prince and the foreign princess make a real effort to ignore any attraction--even though he has to find a wife or be stuck with ... lets just say his choices are limited.

It is an interesting story line and at the end of part one we meet an new player. On to part two.

I was provided an ARC for an honest review.

Enjoyable

I found this story by chance, and having just started reading works by Lola Kidd, I thought I would give it try. I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly the story drew me in. I am anxious to read the second and third parts to find out what's happens.
