My opinion:
After finishing with a flourish in 2010 with Volume 1 of this saga Fantasy this brilliant, and the Banished Exiles will also have the privilege to start the year 2011 on a BANG! Not content with having managed to seduce me at the last second (2nd in my top 2010!) the saga keeps going and I still passionate for these 632 pages! A real stone! To say that Volume 3 is almost 800 pages, I saliva ahead ...
In this volume will, therefore, we find Elena Sor'cière our beloved, surrounded by his faithful companions as we found throughout Volume 1, including the brave Knight Er'ril stands, the Mountaineer and og're Tol'chuck Kral, 3 interesting characters, each with its own characteristics. Their goal: to reach the city of Val'loa.
The story begins on a flying! Upon leaving the village of Montagnards, they cross a forest haunted by the Horde! It consists of thousands of spiders that have transformed the beautiful forest green lint. To show you how much we do not laugh in Outlaw and Exiles , I can reveal a small detail crisply: spiders out of the vagina of a Malegarde the splendid creature coverage: Vira'ni. It also walks around naked in the forest, you can imagine (whistling). Finally there is the adult fantasy, not much room for romance and love, there's action, bravery, people die, what is war! You Do not Mess with the Black Heart!
The first part will have the opportunity to compete with this first Malegarde . After Skaltums, these horrible winged monsters that haunted Volume 1, Volume 2 is mostly centered on these new creatures more powerful . These are men and women transformed (s) by the Heart of Black soldiers in an extreme power through black magic that surrounds them. It makes you want to know what the author, James Clemens, had provided for more! They will unfortunately not all creatures as delicious as Vira'ni, but I shall say no more!
The mythological side is still developing with some revelations about the power of Elena but the discovery of Val'loa where there are three characters of the first volume: the 2 black mages Greshym Shorkan and accompanied by brother Elena, Joah. Again, we follow the parallel stories!
It is even more complex when the troop Elena separates to escape a terrible danger! And even when the author introduces new characters: the Sy'wen Me'rai (a so people Seabed whose companion: an aquatic dragon !), the Bloody Kast (a descendant of a sailor missing line) and 2 members of an ancient cult to complement our information on various magic of this world. I loved the introduction of these new characters, they bring freshness to the story, probably the effect of sea water! Must also say that I'm a fan of the dragon fish and the relationship Sy'wen / Kast that grows!
short, there are many characters but they are so well fed sparingly one is never lost, we remember who's who thanks to catchy names and well distinctive of each "race".
The Saga of the Outlaw and Exiles is a must for fantasy and I recommend it to all lovers of the genre! This Volume 2 is a continuation of the first, as good or better because you already know the characters and the action never stops until reaching the peaks at each end of the game! Impossible to get bored with Elena and her band!
for messing around, I said I would put Final 9.6 instead of 10 in Volume 1 to leave room for others, well, I am the movement: 9.7 / 10 !
Volume 3 will follow in the year, for sure, it's already in my PAL. Then later, I'm glad to know that the recently published Volume 4 Milady! Meanwhile Volume 5, probably mid-2012 (since Volume 3 came out in November 2009 and Volume 4 in January 2011).
