Readable, and very RE-readable - By: ellenvannin, 07 Aug 2005 
I first read the Golden Torc at high schoolin the 80s, & have returned to the Exiles & 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 & 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 & 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 upsin the later series.
A great successor to the Milleu Triology - By: silvercut69@hotmail.com, 17 Jan 2002 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, & I hoped for a continuation of Marc's story.
This book is the culmination of the set, & 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 & Saint Jack, his brother), a moral creation of Unifex, as we see himin 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!
A complex, satisfying many-layered story - By: , 11 Oct 2000 This book, & the whole Saga of the Exiles is first of all a good long satisfying read. It has more layers than an onion, & is also a damn fine adventure story. The whole series along with the later Galactic Milieu books involve politics, psychology, myths & legends & lots of "proper" Science Fiction, as well as some good old space opera. I recommend it to anyone who reads any kind of Science Fiction or Fantasy
A classic - By: , 11 Mar 1999 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 & never get tired of. Each time you read these books you see something new.
