A good read,
This review is from: Legacies: The Corean Chronicles Book 1 (Paperback)
This book is the first book by L E Modesitt that I have read. A fan of fantasy novels any way and in search of a new author to occupy the time I stumbled across L E Modesitt.I enjoyed this book enough to read it in almost one sitting. The main character, Alucius was a well written character and the problems he faced in this novel were believable and allowed the reader to sympathise with the character. However, i felt the ending was a little weak and there were points in which i wanted to skip forward a few pages for the plot to progress a little quicker, but over all it is a good novel that has left me seeking out more of his books as well as eagerly anticipating the sequel to this novel.

Interesting,
By A Customer
This review is from: Legacies: The Corean Chronicles Book 1 (Paperback)
After following the Recluse saga and the Spellsong cycle, I was really looking forward to something new from Modesitt. I like his style, not the really exciting storylines from other authors, but precise prose that really gets the story across and gives a deep understanding of the characters. Alucius really is too good to be true, even for growing up in solitude. But this all explains his actions as a grownup captive, and shows him to be quite a strategic thinker. ( he fell in love pretty quick though!) I enjoyed this book as a change from the fast paced action and emotional upheavel that is normally fantasy. I certainly will look forward to the next book in the series.

Well worth reading,
By A Customer
This review is from: Legacies: The Corean Chronicles Book 1 (Paperback)
As usual modessit produces a fairly credible world in which to set the story. The story (as is often the case with this author) revolves around a fairly 'special' individual with greater than average powers who has to come to terms with how these abilities deterimine his role in life.This particular story has a martial feel with the main character becoming a soldier. The fact that various events occur during this story (I won't spoil the plot) means that we almost have several sub-stories within the main event. On the whole fans of Modessit won't be dissapointed by this book.
