I've read it. Once. Never Again. Words cannot adequately describe my hatred for it. It's utterly terrible, especially if you like KOTOR2 better like I do. They totally butchered The Exile to prop up Gary Stu Revan and whilst I hate Bastila so so so much that I wish I just could have left her to die on Taris, she got a totally crap deal too.
This book fully cemented my hatred for the overrated character that is Revan. Karma hit him like a tonne of bricks at the end of the book and he totally deserved it, pity he had to take The Exile down with him too. His story started of as a cautionary tale about "doing what had to be done" and where that takes you but each revision and revelation leads me to be less and less sympathetic towards him. A controversial opinion of mine but in my eyes, Revan was never actually redeemed, forgetting what you've done doesn't change anything. He very quickly goes back to his old ways in SWTOR, you bust him out of Force Jail and right away he's off finding ancient technology to commit mass murder with again. Great.
So yeah it's a crap book and not worth your time. If you want to read some Old Republic books that are actually good then read Deceived and Annihilation. Skip Fatal Alliance, it's not infuriating like Revan, just boring.
