Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Spiked with the author’s customary pop psychology and propelled by rapid-fire plot spurts, this tale of a humble artisan’s rise to mageship will likely leave YA fantasy readers hungry for more.” —Publishers Weekly
“Plot and characters speak for themselves.” —Booklist
“Modesitt’s subtext is power and responsibility, explored both through the action-packed main plot and through Kharl’s legal studies…This thoughtful work should appeal to all readers of fantasy.” —VOYA
“This sequel to Wellspring of Chaos continues the ever-enchanting history of a world in which and law and chaos form the basis for both magic and morality. Modesitt’s Recluce sagas derive their appeal from the evocation of reality in every detail of setting and character.” —Library Journal
This thoughtful work should appeal to all readers of fantasy. —VOYA
