Corean Chronicles, Book 1

By: L. E. Modesitt Jr.

Narrated by: Kyle McCarley

Millennia ago, a magical disaster caused the fall of a great worldwide civilization, the end of a golden age. New civilizations have fought their way up from the ancient destruction and chaos, knowing little of the lost world that preceded them or the details of its fall. Corus today is a world of contending countries, of humans, but also of strange animals and supernatural creatures. It is a place of magical powers and of a few people who are talented enough to use them. Alusius, the hero of the story, is one.

i really liked it

however im a big l e moddsitt fan
and u can tell he wrote it. very typical of this author
all his books have a similar story no matter that they are well written and i dont mind that but it may irk some
kyle mccarley is a average reader his voice is a little annoying but not too bad
the main character is a little Mary sue for my tastes but i dont want him dead so i got over it
the world is interesting but his worlds always are

Good story.

I really liked this story. Like most good books it starts out a little slow, but it progresses at a good pace. If I had to knock anything it's that it seems nobody can finish a good story in one book anymore. This is the first of six, so far, which sucks because now I have to spend the money to get the other books. Other than that a great start to what I hope will be a good series.

Very good listen

The storyline was good & enjoyable. The plot was interesting & the writer did not give away ending...I like that. Y

A different kind of power

The struggle against ideologies and misunderstood powers is well laid out in this beginning Book. I like the characters and thethe pacing. The writing is very good also, as opposed to this review. :-)
