Our view
“Exile’s Return” brings the “Conclave of Shadows” trilogy to a brisk, eventful close within Feist’s wider “Riftwar Cycle”. Some readers find it the liveliest of the three, while noting that the opening chapters echo the first volume and that its many hooks make it feel like a prelude to “Flight of the Nighthawks”.
