Brianna Hai runs an occult shop that sells useless trinkets to tourists-and real magic supplies to witches and warlocks. The magical painting that hangs in Brianna's apartment is the last portal between the fae and human worlds. A shocking magical assault on her home reveals to Brianna that her father, High King Liu of the Fae, is under attack. With the help of her gargoyle, Pug, her friend David, and Angelo, a police detective who doesn't believe in magic, Brianna recovers what was stolen from her and becomes an unwilling potential heir to the throne.

11 of 13 people found the following review helpful. a little fractured at first, but is a quick read and shows a lot of promise By Sneaky Burrito This book marks the first solo novel effort from C.T. Adams (she's previously co-written a rather large number of other urban fantasy novels). There are some great things about this book and there are some issues and I believe that the series will continue to improve as the author gets used to writing all on her own.First, the issues:The writing could use a little polish. I found quite a few instances where the same (unusual) word was used twice in the same sentence or in two lines. Also, I felt that the characters weren't really all that distinguished in terms of their voices and use of language. So a veteran police officer would say something like "I'm meeting a freaking king" (don't remember the exact quote, but "freaking" was definitely in it). It seemed like a huge projection of the author's voice, or perhaps something a young woman would say.Second, although I've only been reading urban fantasy for maybe a year or so now (and that being pretty much limited to the Dresden Files and the Iron Druid Chronicles), I felt like there were too many familiar elements -- someone with magical abilities running an occult shop, the ability to travel to the land of the Fae, faery courts, etc. I know this is probably like commenting on the pseudo-medieval atmosphere of more traditional fantasy (which is ubiquitous in those books), so I'm not going to spend a lot of time on it.I had a hard time identifying with Brianna (the main character). And the path of a potential relationship between her and another character seems like it is going to be predictable -- if not in this book, then down the road. (However, there was one moment when she had to think back to her teenage years -- in front of witnesses, including her father -- where I did feel for her. So while she seems aloof for a good portion of the book, I think the seeds of something good are there.)Finally, there were a few too many descriptions of clothing. Lots and lots of people wearing dresses slit along the thigh, all the way up to the waistline. (It didn't really matter whether the POV character for a scene was male or female -- clothing got described, regardless.)Not sure how I feel about this: It took awhile for the plot of *this* book to become apparent, and I felt that the true villain was established a bit late in the game. However, several possible interpretations exist. First, it was sort of a mystery -- who attacked Brianna early on (or who set up the attack)? Also, determining the list of suspects served as an introduction to Brianna's extended family and to the land of the Fae (I do feel that most of the novelty of the Fae world was kept to the POV scenes of Nick, the police officer from *our* world, and he was a good proxy for such things, having never been there before).But, as I said, this book has its good qualities as well:The prologue actually tied into the story. And not in the way I expected it to. But even though it was unexpected, the resolution made sense in terms of the story and it didn't come out of nowhere. So when there were some loose ends from the beginning of the book (Brianna receives a dagger with magical properties, said properties not being mentioned again), I have hopes that they will be tied up later in the series -- and in a clever way, at that.I loved some of the worldbuilding details. I'm happy that the author acknowledged that she wasn't even trying to adhere to established (researched) mythology. Honestly, the varying Fae species worked for me, regardless of any basis in legend or lack thereof. I also liked that the royal family wore jeans and t-shirts on formal occasions and passed around little boxes of Froot Loops. You never know what a foreign society is going to adopt when exposed to elements of US culture.I also liked that Brianna had a history in *our* world but that we were only given clues as to what it was, hints here and there. We're dropped into this story at a pivotal point in time. Stuff is happening, and it's happening quickly, and it was absolutely the right place to start this series. The only real flashback (discussed above) actually served an important purpose in the story. I have hopes that more flashbacks will fill in more details at appropriate times in future volumes. (I actually don't like when too much is explained at once. I prefer to have to figure a few things out on my own. So this worked, here.)In the end, there were some kinks that needed to be worked out, but as I sit back and think about it, this series is showing a lot of promise. It's a quick read and I fully expect to see a lot of improvement in future volumes. 3.5 stars because there were some kinks, but I'll round up to 4.Review copy provided by the publisher.

THE EXILE is a great start to a series By Kate **Review courtesy of All Things Urban Fantasy**Though the beginning is a bit rocky, THE EXILE is a fast-paced race of a book, full of twists and turns and a great new world to explore. From the great cover which drew me in to the last chapter, I delighted in this book and am so thrilled it's a new series I get to follow.THE EXILE is one of those types of books that takes a little effort to really get into, but once you're in, you're sucked into the world completely. Told from quite a few points of view, it takes a little time to really start to feel the rhythm of the book, but once familiar with the characters, it isn't hard to follow along and really start to experience the story with them. Brianna is a great main character, with her handy gargoyle protector and half-human/half-fae heritage that causes her all sorts of trouble. She's one of those characters that you can't decide if you want to root for what she wants, or for what you think she could become, if she stopped denying her power.Twisty and turny, THE EXILE has a few moments that felt like a punch to the stomach, but it never felt like anything was being done for pure shock value. The twists still propelled the plot forward and made sense in the story. I loved the intrigue and the mystery of the fae court, and how the reader is given just enough information about certain aspects to leave them wanting more.All in all, a very well written, fun book, THE EXILE is a great start to a series, one that I hope follows up on the promises made in this first book. I know I am looking forward to see where Adams takes Brianna and all the other characters next in their journey, and can't wait for book two of The Fae to come out!
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Despite the rocky start and flaws, The Exile is a good start to a new UF series. By Van @ Short and Sweet reviews Disclosure: I received a review copy from the publisher in exchange for a honest review.The Exile is the first book in a new series by author C.T. Adams, co-author of the Blood Singer series. I've read the first 3 books in the Blood Singer series and enjoyed it. So, when I heard Adams was starting a new series on her own, and about the Faes I knew immediately that I wanted to read it. I love all things Faeries!I thought the world-building was well-done, even if it’s your standard urban fantasy with the usual Faes, Gargoyles, Seers/Oracles, Pixies, and Trolls variety. The book is set up in a closed world, meaning the humans don’t know that magic and supernatural beings exist. Brianna Hai, is half-human, half Fae and she has been living in the human world for years and it isn't until someone attacks her beyond the veil does she go back to Fairy. I’m really big on world building, I expect it to be both complex (but not overwhelming) and believable…to have that oomph, but I didn't see it in The Exile. It’s was good but there was nothing new that we haven’t already seen in other urban fantasies. Also, the plot has been done before countless of times. I was waiting for a big revelation or twist to make this book stand out but it never came. Plus, it didn't help that the part of Fairy (The Palace) we explored was built to mirror the human world. I was expecting to see a magical and exotic plane, but I didn't get that. I hope this little issue will be remedied in the next book so we can see beyond the palace since the characters were only in two locations for most of the story; Brianna’s shop and King Leu’s Palace.Brianna was a likable heroine, as were most of the other characters. But even after I finished reading it, the characters felt one-dimensional and that I didn't connect or relate to them at all. There were multiple POVs and while I usually don’t have a problem with it for once I think having so many narratives actually hurt the character developments. Since everyone was vying for equal page time we didn't get to know the characters beyond the basic facts/info presented at the beginning of the book.As for the pacing of the story, I thought it was a bit shaky. At times it would flow smoothly but a few pages later it would get interrupted by a tedious scene. This happens on and off throughout the book. I would find myself riveted one minute and bored the next. But it isn't for the lack of trying; the book is full of action and commotions within the first chapter till the very end but it was written in a way that didn't work for me…I don’t know why though, everything just felt a bit off.Overall, I liked The Exile, just not as much as I hoped. Despite the rocky start and flaws, I think it’s a good start to a new urban fantasy series. I am curious to see what’s in store for Brianna and Co, so I might check out the sequel when it comes out. I’d still recommend it to UF fans, I think it’s worth checking out…if you can, read an except/sample before buying or borrow it from the library.
