I have to agree. Exodus and Exiles provide a nice set-up for the story to play out in your head. If you've seen the Bay movies and/or played the WFC/FOC games, it's easy to visualize the world and characters as described. Plenty of lesser-knowns get their moment of glory and you really get an understanding of both Optimus and Megatron. I gained a true respect for Aligned Megatron despite his atrocities because of this book.
However, the writing does get tedious throughout, and it's sometimes tough to keep with the happenings, even if you're well-versed in TF. Especially the latter parts of Exiles are riddled with inconsistencies like characters dropping in and out a scout party. Or one legendary sword being referenced with four different names.
Long story short, it's not a good book, but it's decent supplementary material in addition to the other Aligned fiction. It's worth a read, but not something you'll read again.
