    Review by:  Lisa

Title:  Exile

Author:  Anne Osterlund

Collection:  Teen Books

 

Crown princess Aurelia is a survivor. She survived attempted assassination. She survived the king’s rejection. She survived her mother’s abandonment. And now, in exile, she must survive her kingdom-from hostile crowds to raw frontier to desert sands. But even as unknown assailants track Aurelia and expedition guide Robert, she knows what her greatest risk is: falling love…  In exile, Princess Aurelia is free of responsibilities, able to travel the country and meet the people of Tyralt, but when her journey erupts in a fiery conflagration that puts the fate of the kingdom in peril, she and her companion Robert must determine whether they have the strength and the will to complete their mission.

This sequel to Aurelia (2008) is even better than the first book.  Full of adventure, suspense and romance, the book is a page-turner that fans of Maria V. Snyder, Robin McKinley, and Tamora Pierce will enjoy.
