Hey yall! I am here doing a blog tour for the awesome author Jaye. L. Knight's book Exiles! So lets get started. :D
About the Book
Exiled after their defeat in Samara, the Resistance
struggles to find allies in their quest
to restore King Balen to his throne and
put an end to the emperor’s tyranny. When the crete people refuse to lend their
aid, Balen leads a group to Dorland to reason with them and win their support.
However, enemies prove to be everywhere, and they find themselves in a fight to
keep Dorland from becoming Daican’s latest conquest.
Back in Landale, the arrival of a new enemy forces Trask
and Anne to tread more carefully than ever. Tensions are rising, and the enemy
is determined to test
Anne’s loyalty and root out the location of Trask and the Resistance once and
for all.
Feeling trapped within the walls of Valcré, Prince Daniel
must contend with an ever-eroding
relationship with his father. As their clashes escalate, the situation becomes
potentially life threatening when his loyalty is called into question. His
sister seems bent on branding him a traitor and actively seeking to condemn him to the fate of those put to death
in their father’s new arena. Daniel is certain his father would never execute
his only son and heir but, with other forces at work, it might not be that
simple.
One small misstep could prove fatal
for all.
My Review
My Rating 4.5 stars. I was very excited to get back to Illyon! :D I really likes it. :) It was a little slow at the beginning, but picked up pace further on. POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT! This is totally my opinion. I didn't really like how Jace was all of a sudden like perfect no more doubts and fears. He didn't really feel real to me. Kyrin too felt a little off. Like they weren't really there. *shrugs* END OF SPOILER ALERT There was some awesome action scenes. We also got to see more of Daniel which was really awesome. :) Yeah, I really liked this book, it was pretty exciting. Jaye did a good job. The setting was super cool too.

Author Interview
1. If you could do one job besides being an author what
would it be?
That would be a bit of a hard
choice. I have two things I could see myself doing if I was not a writer. I
would either want to be a historian/genealogist, since I absolutely love
history, or I would want to work behind the scenes on a film or TV show set.
Whenever I watch the behind the scenes extras on movies, I always feel like I
would love to be a part of it.
2. Who is your favorite singer (band)?
I have quite a few that mean a
lot to me, but narrowing it down to only one, I would say Jeremy Camp. Not only
do I love his music, but he is one of the sweetest people I have ever met. And
I can very happily say I’ve met him twice. He’s one of those people were you
can just feel how much he cares.
3. What is your favorite drink?
Another hard choice . . . either
Irish Breakfast Tea or cream soda. I have my tea almost every day, but when I
do have soda, cream soda is at the top of my list.
4. Do you like to hunt?
I do, though I’m not a fan of
the cold, and it is usually COLD during hunting season here in Wisconsin.
Because of this, I’ve only gone out hunting a couple of times. Usually the
thought of getting up before the sun comes up and going out into freezing
temperatures makes me choose staying inside the warm house, haha.
5. What comes after Ilyon Chronicles is finished?
Last year, I did NaNoWriMo for
the very first time and wrote my first (completed) contemporary romance novel, No Chance
Meeting. Then, only a couple of months ago, I
was struck with ideas for two more in the same series. So that’s what I plan to
work on after I finish Ilyon Chronicles. Beyond that, I have so many ideas I’m
not sure what will come next. I’m definitely not leaving the fantasy genre
behind.
