Critic reviews

"This thoughtful work should appeal to all readers of fantasy." - VOYA

Excellent performance, good story.

I thought it was weird that Kharl kind of just got over his family's deaths. Just weird.

Such a great series!

This author creates a new story with unique characters in this history of Recluce, Looking forward to the next book in the series.

Great Read!! Excellent series!

Excellent narrator, very entertaining. The storyline held my attention throughout. Everything a good book should be and a bit more. The saga of Recluce have all been excellent and entertaining. I look forward to hearing the next one!!

One of my favorite stories!

Vintage Modesitt, but this book and the first (Wellspring of Chaos) are two of my absolute favorites. I really appreciated the maturity of cooper Kharl. Great supporting cast, too.

Magic indeed

Good narrator, excellent characters and plot. Strongly recommended to those who want a good story.
