Good book if you understand what it is about

I am an avid listener of audiobooks. I average anywhere from 3 to 5 a week. I also have no problem picking up book 8 in a series first if it's all I can find and then jumping around. All that being said the author did a very poor job explaining when this book takes place in the timeline as well as several other things such as what the " legend" is, and just why the whites were capturing Crestlin, other than the fact that he is the main character.

Once you understand just what the heck is happening it's a great book

Awesome performance!

The premise was interesting and unique. I would definitely read the next installment, not to mention, the narration was flawless!

A solid entry

This is a solid entry in the Recluse series. It is one if the harder reads, almost painful at times, but the payout us there and it provides a necessary background for so much else in the series that it should not be missed.

About time, old favorite now in audible

One of my favorites as a teenager. Fascinating magic system. Pleasure to listen/read again.

not one of his better books

narrator was great. the story was forced. I really like the authors writing and many of the other books in the series but this one was weak with a plot that seemed forced and hard to follow.

Read just the way I did in my head

I love this series. Hayborn is an excellent narrator, capturing the story and planting not only a great audible experience in the listener's head, but a visual one as well. Better than any movie experience.

love the storyline, great narration,

naration & voices are excellent. the story is fantastic. it's different to kind of get a story backwards, but interesting. story moved at a decent pace. love Modessitt

Addictive

Hard to stop listening to. I would have to go back a chapter the next day as I would start falling asleep each night.

So much less boring than the first book

The picture​ painted of the emotional turmoil made me cry. Looking forward to The Order War.

Book 2: Recluse

As a stand-alone story, The Towers of Sunset has little to stand on. A great deal of background information that isn’t provided is needed to understand much of the story.

With that said, it’s a fun addition to the Recluse canon. Creslin isn’t my favorite main character, but he is complex and Modesitt does a good job developing his character. If you haven’t read anything else in the Recluse arc, I wouldn’t start here. But if you love Recluse, it’s a great addition.
