One thing you can always guarantee when you read a Haddix book is that it will suck you in and will be super unique! Children of Exile did not disappoint. I will admit, it is really hard to review without spoiling. The summary did a really great job, but everything that happens after that suspense-building summary happens would spoil something for you. But I will promise you these things:
*You will be on the edge of your seat and not be able to figure out what is going on for 90% of the first book.
*You will be disgusted by the treatment of the children once they are returned to their parents.
*You will want to help Edwy and his friends so badly throughout.
*You will have to stop reading when the reveal happens in the first book just to process it. Then you’ll reread. Then you’ll text someone who has read it.
*You will want to know more than book 2 tells you, so we’ll all be waiting impatiently for #3.
*You will realize that these books are actually a bit older and darker than they first seem.
