Review of EXILES from Nanasbookreviews

Enjoy the review from Nanasbookreviews

Exiles by LJ Ambrosio is a beautiful story about friendships and love. It’s the third book from the Reflections of Michael series.

This one is talking about the friendship between Ron and Louie. Two very different people who met by accident and the only thing they had in common was their love for books. Ron became a life mentor to Louie teaching him everything he knew and giving him advice on topics he wasn’t familiar with.

It was truly amazing seeing them bond and have so much fun together. Louie experiencing love for the first time was my favorite part. Emotionally he seemed to be so much younger than his real age. They were such a great couple with Lilly.

A big part of the story talks about classic literature, monuments of France, and politics. I am not familiar with those topics but I liked that I got to learn about them.

I am always happy that I get to read books with such a great plot and topics you can relate to.

The novel, the last installment in this engrossing trilogy, takes readers to the heart of Paris, where the protagonist Ron, at his friend Michael's suggestion, sets out on a journey of self-exile. Ron's story develops with depth and resonance against the backdrop of the city's lively culture and passionate protests, providing a complex examination of identity, friendship, and the search for purpose.

Much like its predecessors, this novel makes me feel a variety of things, including laughter, anxiety, excitement, wonder, and loss. Ambrosio's skill in incorporating these emotions into the story is what gives the trilogy its unique quality. While there is room for improvement in the book, overall the story is heartwarming and well worth reading.

Ambrosio shows a wonderful capacity to add levels of intellectual insight and emotional depth to her storytelling throughout the story. Every page exudes a feeling of urgency and poignancy that drive readers to reflect on life's most important issues in tandem with the characters.

Excerpt

Ron was still sleeping while Julia made coffee and checked her luggage. She quietly went back to the bed and cuddled next to him. She whispered in his ear, while she gently kissed him on his cheek.

Ron suddenly flipped her over as she screamed, then he jumped on top of her. She laughed as he stared down at her.

“I will miss you; our bed will be empty. But wait, there is Rhonda, my other life partner.”

Julia laughed and said, “True, her fur is tender but not like mine, she does have delicate little legs but mine are much smoother. The only similar fact is that we both love you.”
