I first read the Golden Torc at high school in the 80s, and have returned to the Exiles and Milieu trilogies as well loved friends ever since. Characters you'll warm to, characters you'll love to hate, characters you'd love to give a stingy smack around the chops and an "oh stop whinging!" to.
What I like best about this set of May's work is that while being a serious story, the narrative never takes itself too seriously unlike a lot of worthy yet ponderous fantasy.

Start with the Many Coloured Land and work your way through the Exiles, then Intervention, then the Milieu series, even if this way you have to wonder at some of the 'convenient' set ups in the later series.

Anyone who read the Milleu Triology will agree with me that this book is a definetely MUST. I have started reading this Saga because I enjoyed the Triology so much, and I hoped for a continuation of Marc's story.
This book is the culmination of the set, and we get to see Marc making a decision once more to interfere, except this time he fights for salvation instead of damnation. This is where the development of the greatest Saint of the Gallactic Milleu occurs (greater than the Saint Illuso and Saint Jack, his brother), a moral creation of Unifex, as we see him in the Triology.
Once again we see a well-developed plot, with threads that reach to both of the sets. The best part about this book is all the vague references to the future so taht reader has to make their own conclusions.
If you have read any of the other books, this is a definite must-read. You can't go wrong with it!

I read the saga of the exiles a long time ago, but i wasn't sure that I had read the last book, I had! But it's so good that I am going to read it again! Really good book.

A complex, satisfying many-layered story
This book, and the whole Saga of the Exiles is first of all a good long satisfying read. It has more layers than an onion, and is also a damn fine adventure story. Read more

A classic
I put the Saga of the Exiles on par with Tolkein's Lord of the Rings or Azimov's Foundation series - one of those reads you can return to time after time and never get tired of. Read more
