Reviews
“The gritty details of this world make it as real as any in science fiction. As usual, Mr. Modesitt’s sense of power makes the fantastic background more plausible.” —Philadelphia Press & Review on The Spellsong War
“One of the premier voices in fantasy . . . Modesitt is a fabulous world-builder who once again creates a milieu so compelling that it seems like we actually go there with the plucky heroine….” —Romantic Times on The Soprano Sorceress
“The underlying theme of this volume is stewardship and its costs. Modesitt shows how Anna must change her assumptions about herself, what she will and will not do, to be true to the responsibilities she has taken on as regent. Darksong Rising is another of Modesitt’s deeply philosophical novels disguised as an action-adventure, military fantasy. This title is highly recommended for all young adult collections.” —VOYA on Darksong Rising
