Review: The Spellsong series is a fresh and differnet approach to magic.It uses a completly different avenue towards adventure. I look forward to the next book Darksong Rising. Keep up the good work Mr.M, most enjoyable reading.

Summary: YUCK!
Review: This is the first time I read anything from Modesitt......I was greatly disapointed. The plot of the story is good.....but there is no scenery and the characters don't have any personalities..... I could see this being a better book if there was more character building...but I found it extremely boring and a waste of money...It makes me wish I hadn't spent anything on it and i am kind of wary of reading any more of Modesitts work... I'm used to better writing for my money.....I almost hope there will be no more "installments" to this series because I will have to spend a few dollars to finish the series for my collection......YUCK!

Summary: A Very Nice Book
Review: Very building, starting with mere problems with the infrastructure of Defalk, but building to a full-scale invasion of neighboring Dumar. The changes in tense are very clever and unique. Not even Terry Brooks would do something like that...

Summary: GREAT BOOK!!!
Review: Well this is the 2nd book featuring Anna the Soprano Sorceress. I did wait for this one to come out and I hate to admit it but I was a bit disappointed. The story seemed to really plod along at times, in fact at some points it was actually boring! Also I realize it's a feudal society but is every man really that much dumber than the females?? Anyway while it wasn't as great as the first I must say overall I did enjoy it. The multiple unresolved and tangled plotlines really kept me intrigued. Modesitt is also doing a great job of showing that being the ruler ain't all that great and that being the biggest shark in the water tends to attract every other shark. Well here's to hoping the 3rd book is on par with the 1st!
