Reviews

"Modesitt reveals again why success follows his novels. The characters are flawless, his world building continues to enchant and there is always plenty of conflict and mystery." --Romantic Times BOOKreviews "A near-classic fairy tale." --Booklist "The characters have become more fascinating with each novel; moreover, this one includes even more action than either of its predecessors . . . which contributes mightily to brining the adventures of Dainyl, Alector of Corus, and Mykel, an officer in the native military corps, to a stunning conclusion while leaving enough unanswered questions for many more Corean stories." --Booklist (starred review) on Soarer's Choice "Modesitt's well-developed characters, including his typically ethical protagonists, the unraveling of various Alector plots, and the action-packed revolt sequences will attract new readers to join Modesitt's many fans anxiously awaiting this volume." --VOYA on Soarer's Choice "A thunderous, satisfying climax. . . . ranks among [Modesitt's] best work." --Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Soarer's Choice "Corus is a fascinating land, full of both new and ancient magic, and the inhabitants are possibly the most fascinating of all, with complex motivations underpinning their every action." --Romantic Times BOOKreviews on Alector's Choice "A powerful, enthralling and exciting fantasy epic. . . . The protagonist is a hero for going into battle against an enemy that is more powerful than he is. His love for his wife adds a romantic dimension that humanizes the larger than life champion. Scepters is an outstanding fantasy." --Midwest Book Review on Scepters "Legacies is for people who . . . want to see their characters grow and like to fill in the blanks themselves rather than have the author do it for them. . . . With a likable character in an intriguing land, Legacies is off to a promising start." --Starlog on Legacies
