The adventure was edge-of-your-seat levels of gripping and exciting, so much so that the romance felt a bit like an afterthought as there was a lot going on. Still, I really enjoyed this final addition to the Exodus series and particularly liked the ending. As always it was a very well written book.

I was invited by the author to read and review this book. I received a complimentary copy on Net Galley. I enjoyed the book and found it a generally good ending to the series. On the positive side, I enjoyed the further development of characters I had come to love and seeing the world of Gemocon developing despite the sabotage at the heart of the series. The book offered some good twists on the long sabotage of the attempts to let go of all the changers or at least the malevolent ones. I also appreciate Gun's imagination and her sci-fi worlds.

In the context of the whole series, I found this the weakest book of the five in the series. There were gaps in the plot. I got confused occasionally and had to go back and read passages again. The formulaic creating a couple out of characters at the center of the book felt a bit forced in this book, even though I found the characters interesting in and of themselves. The solution to the evil characters behind the plot running through all books felt simplistic and anti-climatic. There was no information provided as to how all the evil characters were hidden away on the ships bringing everyone to the new world. The connections between those who committed treason and the evildoers wasn't clear. These are some of the plot holes that I found distracting.

I have enjoyed the whole series. Treason was, again, a good ending to the series. I wish it has been a little more coherent and complete, but overall, it is a decent read.

Treason is the last in the Exodus series and she has done a great job. All of the loose ends are tied up and her writing is spot on as usual. I will miss the characters in this series.

This is the fifth and last of the books in the Exodus science fiction series. Although Ms. Brooke has indicated that this is the end of the series, I have enjoyed the characters and would like to learn more of their saga. She has done a good job of trying to tie up all the different storylines.

From the beginning of this tale about an exodus of people from their planet to another planet, I was immediately drawn into the legend. The story and the characters were very well developed. Each book highlighted new characters but also had the characters from previous books, so you felt a strong connection with their plight.

As with most science fiction series, it really helps to start with the first book. This series is no exception. Because there is a span of time that Ms. Brooke needs to create each book, it might take a few chapters to refresh one’s memory about the plot and the characters.

There is romance and suspense galore in this series! I don’t want to give anything away, so people reading this review will just have to know that both elements are present throughout the books. My only wish is that Ms. Brooke would write more with these characters.

I recommend this book and rate it 4-1/2 out of 5 stars.

I was given this ARC in return for a fair and honest review.

Treason is the fifth book in the sci-fi “Exodus” series. This is a favourite series, and it is less space opera than the Supreme Constellations series. As a follow-on I think this book is good, and I enjoyed reading it. What struck me as odd though was the sense that the enemy, the Nestrocalder, is more a fantasy evil creature than a science fiction villain. This story really needs background to tie the state-of-the-art engineering of the Pathfinder and the Exodus mission to the overpowered “magic” of Zoem and the Nestrocalder. I don’t want to have to try and reason it out myself.
Nevertheless, I liked reading this book and wrapping up the Exodus series. For the author: this series is calling for a 30-years hence novella, or a spin off “descendants” series in good science-fantasy style.

This is the final book in the Exodus series, but suffers from the same issue as book 4, an unnecessary romance. With so many characters from the previous books already established as couples, simply continuing their stories would have done, without also having to pair up characters in these last two books. This meant that there was little time for the actual romances to develop and some other key areas felt under-explored (this is particularly the case in book 4 with Pamas and her reunion with her family).

While Zoem and Neenja are both interesting characters, there’s no real depth to the romance between them, and it all happens very quickly (just as in book 4), while in books 1-3 the romances are more drawn out. There’s also so many characters from the previous books that I couldn’t keep them all straight (and Brooke does not help here by continually switching between the past characters first and last names). Some of these characters provide nothing more than a cameo and without the romance could have possibly been used more, which I’d have enjoyed more.

The huge ‘threat’ also turned out to be a bit lame (and maybe it was just me, but I didn’t understand the motivation for it following them all this way or how no-one suspected this before). Given that Zoem kept going on and on about how it couldn’t be defeated, how this was accomplished seemed pretty anti-climactic.

Anyway, anyone who’s read the other books will want to read this to see how the series ends. I felt the first three books were the strongest, but this provides a serviceable, if uninspired, ending to the series.

3.75 Stars. This was a satisfying ending to the series. This is the 5th and finale book in the Exodus series. As you may or may not be able to guess by the cover, this is a sci-fi series. While I would not consider this to be light sci-fi, I still think this series would work for people newer to the sci-fi genre. The books really are about people and their relationships. And because it is a large cast of characters, I highly recommend reading these books in order. I have read every single book and even then I had a little bit of trouble keeping all the characters straight in this book. It would be pretty impossible if you just jumped in here.

It’s a bit hard to discuss this book without giving spoilers away to what happened in previous books. I don’t want to ruin anything for anyone new to the series so I will keep things brief and vague. This book really was the culmination of all the previous books and the unanswered questions were finally answered. All the characters from the four previous books are back and we get to learn about two main characters Zoem and Neenja that were secondary characters in book 4.

I did think the romance took a bit of a backseat in this book. There is so much going on with Brooke making sure she ties up all the loose ends, that there wasn’t as much time for the romance. It is there, and I did like the two as a potential couple, I just didn’t quite connect to them as much as I was hoping. It’s actually a shame the series is ending since I think the character of Zoem could have really shined in future books.

What I enjoyed the most was more of the action of the story and being with all the previous characters. After five books I have grown pretty attached to some of them and will miss them now that the series is over. As I mentioned before this was a satisfying ending, but I still think book 3 was my favorite of the whole series.

I would recommend this book to fans of the series. I think most will be happy with the ending. If you are new to the series definitely start at book 1. Book 1 is the roughest of the whole series, but the books improve as they go on. Now that this adventure is over I’m excited to see what Brooke has instore for us next.

Treason is the fifth and final book in Ms. Brooke’s Exodus series. The characters from the first four books join Zoem and Neenja in resolving the threats to the new settlement. Along with plenty of action there is the developing romance between Zoem and Neenja.

I highly recommend this book and the entire series. In fact, I plan to go back to the beginning and re-read the series.

I ARC received via NetGalley and in exchange for an honest review.

I didn't know this was a book series but I didn't need the other books to get into this one. I do want to get the other books so I can really get to know the other characters.

This had a fast pace and just the right amount of tension that keeps you in suspense until the end.

I like getting to know Commander Neenja KahSandra and even though she doesn't want to babysitting Zoem Malderyn, an orphan with no memory she comes to care for her.

As they set out to reach their new destination they realize the danger is with them can they save themselves and inhabitants before this new planet and their future is destroy.

This is the fifth book in the series Exodus written by this author. Although I'm not particularly a lover of science fiction books, this adventure caught me from book one and I love every new chapter of it. In this part, all the protagonists of the previous books reappear and the adventure seems to be the final, although I would not like it to be so. Although in the epilogue there are several new characters that may have continuity in a new chapter, or at least I hope so. As in the previous ones, the story explains the journey of the Gemoconian civilization, which had to leave its planet due to its imminent destruction. In this case, the inhabitants who have finally managed to reach their new destination, must face a new danger that has accompanied them on the trip and will try to endanger their future on this new planet. The story has all the necessary ingredients to catch you from the start, it has a fast pace and the amount of tension that keeps you in suspense until the end. It is essential to have read the previous books so that this makes sense. For those who follow the series, this is another excellent chapter.
