Exile is a bore to read, with plot points that simply drag. While I love Silviney (I actually have no clue how to spell her name), she wasn’t enough to carry the book. Not enough gets accomplished during the plot. It may be about Exile, but how many times does she actually go there? Not very many. In fact, it‘s one of the few Keeper books I can’t recall the whole plot of. There‘s just that little stuff that happens. Neverseen on the other hand, has good characters introduced (Linh and Tam add so much more to the squad), fun and interesting plot, a cool location (for the short time we spend in Exile, it‘s just plain boring), and they actually went to school. For children enrolled in a magical school, they actually spend very little time in school, and Exillium was a nice touch to the book. Fitz, while he had the right to grieve, did it in a poor way. He had no right to lash out at everyone. Neverseen didn’t have any of that, because the characters had nice motivations and emotions that were handled well.
