I had really liked the first installment in the Mercy series, so I was very excited to read this one and find out how Mercy's adventures would go on. 
 Although I still loved Lim's excellent, lyrical prose and my fascination with Mercy's character was the same, I didn't enjoy Exile as much as Mercy because, well, almost nothing happened. I love the way Mercy adepts in other people's body, but I would have like the story to evolve a little, especially because at the end of the book the author left the heroine in the same situation she was at the end of the first one. 
 Also, Mercy's blind trust in Luc is unbelievable and unrealistic. And irritating, since I love Ryan's character and I couldn't stand to see him used for Luc and Mercy's purposes. Also, what Mercy felt for him was real, so I didn't understand how she could possibly treat him like that. 
 I'm still looking forward to the next installment and I really hope it to be better than this one since it would be a pity to waste this kind of potential.
