Reviews
“Strong supporting characters, vivid settings and creative approach to mythos and magic enhance this richly detailed story. New readers should feel comfortable in Modesitt’s world, where chaos and order reign in delicate balance, while series fans will welcome this return to familiar ground. As usual, Modesitt handles his world-building and characterization with ease. While knowledge of the previous books in the series will enhance the reading experience, it’s not a requirement to enjoying this stand-alone tale. This newest entry in the Saga of Recluce is a gift for fans and new readers alike.” —Romantic Times Bookclub on Wellspring of Chaos (a “Top Pick”)
“The prolific Modesitt’s 12th Recluce fantasy, his first since 2001’s Scion of Cyador, delights from start to finish. . . . .In a genre saturated with callow youngsters who grow into heroes, Modesitt effortlessly builds an epic adventure around an ordinary, middle-aged man. This marks a welcome new chapter in the Recluce saga, with the ending all but promising a sequel.” —Publishers Weekly on Wellspring of Chaos
“Modesitt’s excellent new story has thought-provoking underpinnings that will snare newcomers as well as old Recluce hands.” —Booklist on Wellspring of Chaos
