Review: 2 1/2 stars - weakest in the series for me

It pains me to write this as I think Anderson is a very talented writer.  The Kindred series used to be the gold standard for me for PNR.  Exiled really made me question continuing reading the series.  The h is weak, whiny, and ineffective -  what is attractive about that?  The world building is too much around sex in this book. I did not find the Touch Kindred an interesting race to read about as I did Beast, Twin, Tranq - maybe because this book felt very much like a "riding the Kindred fan train" rather than an inspired story in the author's mind.  I reread Claimed and was struck by how there were sweet/romantic moments - while Exiled just seems like bunch of gratuitous erotic scenes with filler thrown in.  The filler being what is going on with past Kindred characters who came across as annoying and needed to be told to mind their own business in each other's lives.I expect to get a lot "not helpful votes" on this review because Anderson, deservedly so, is very popular with her fans, but I had to voice this as I have appreciated when other reviewers spared me a dissatisfying read.
