review 1: The best thing about this novel is the cover art (which we learn in the afterword served as the author's inspiration.) The worst thing about it is the glut of character names: Dannel Craik, Aloris Raasn, Clyann, Zerlyna Eblion, Dr. Rikard Spek, Paolo Verano, Sinjon Reksba, Rob Gy...

review 1: Ok. Not an incredible amount of action, but the series continues from another perspective. Really annoying however, is the consistent usage of the same 'filler', over and over again.- Meals. Really, who cares about what they have to eat and how it's prepared. EVERY FRICKING ...

review 1: I liked the book overall I was torn between 3 and 4 stars. It was slow going at first. I did not realize right away that it was three different timelines at the same location separated by VAST amounts of time. Once I looked at the chapter headings and more specifically the dat...

review 1: I finished this several days ago & was so excited to get into the next book that I forgot to review this one. It continues on with the same character from the 4th & is every bit as good. Can I say more? Sure. Should I? No. Don't start with this book. You can start with the...

review 1: Very much a Modesitt Jr book. If you like his others you will like this one. The one complaint I had was that we can all see what is going to happen at the final battle of the book, so it felt a little glossed over. I think he could have fleshed that scene out a little before ...

review 1: I always love L.E.Modesitt Jr.'s books. His worlds seem so real as to draw the reader as a part of them and his different series always leave me wishing the next book was already here. Even though this is part of a series and does refer to events in past books one doesn't need ...

review 1: A new twist in the anachronic series of the Saga or Recluce. At first I was bothered by the non chronologically lineal order L.E. Modesitt writes his books in the Saga of Recluce, but as I read the various books, I am constantly thrown back or forward in time in the History of th...

review 1: I almost stopped reading this book, but I made myself continue. I didn't regret it because the ending was enjoyable, but the rest of it so-so.The key issue with this book is how extremely mundane and repetitive it gets throughout. At least half the book could have been omitted. T...
