Modesitt Jr. Tor Fantasy, 1995 Saga of Recluse, Part 3 + Had me Hooked + An excellent 3rd book + Not Free SF Reader             Lord of Chaos (The Wheel of Time, Book 6)306 reviews Robert Jordan Tor Fantasy, 1995 Take the time to take it all in! + Good beginning and great finish + A slow pace redeemed by a spectacular payoff + The lord of chaos: another book well done + A great bounce back after the turgid book 5             The Great Hunt (The Wheel of Time, Book 2)335 reviews Robert Jordan Tor Fantasy, 1991 Favorite book in the WOT series + Compelling sequel to the "Eye of the World" + Great book + Great Book and Series! + A significant improvement over the first book             The Dragon Reborn (The Wheel of Time, Book 3)296 reviews Robert Jordan Tor Fantasy, 1992 They say the third time's a charm . . . + Good end to the first trilogy of WOT + Good book + This is when it was good to be a WOT-er + A solid continuation of the series             Wellspring of Chaos (Saga of Recluce)21 reviews L. E. Modesitt Jr. Tor Books, 2005 Review of "Wellspring of Chaos" + Still a good series after many books + Another Excellent Recluse Novel + Superb storytelling based on gripping characterisation             The Towers of the Sunset (Recluce series, Book 2)42 reviews L. E. Modesitt Jr. Tor Fantasy, 1993 Fantastic - I expected no less + Best one of the Series Reviewers who have derided this book for its 2nd-person point of view should avoid anything else they find written in the 2nd-person. I will continue to love this style because it puts you right in the driver's seat. It gives you a sense of immediacy that, when used properly, contributes to the ...             The Death of Chaos (Saga of Recluce)17 reviews L. E. Modesitt Jr. Tor Fantasy, 1996 One of the best in the series + Chaos and Order vie for control of this review + The best book of the series!! (so far) This book is very interesting and a rewarding read. Having read the first 6 books of the series this has to be one of the best ones. The "inconsistencies" stated in some of the other reviews really aren't there at all. Lerris as well as Justen were GREY wizards (and you could make a case for Gunnar ...             A Crown of Swords (The Wheel of Time, Book 7)660 reviews Robert Jordan Tor Fantasy, 1997 Still strong, but Jordan begins to milk it + A decent addition to the series, but the cracks are starting to widen While I rate this book highly, this is the first book in the series where I really began to feel that the story was being stretched out deliberately to yield more books in the future. Many of the subplots advance slowly and more subplots are introduced, leaving more loose ends to tie up later. ...             The Magic of Recluce (Recluce series, Book 1)113 reviews L. E. Modesitt Jr. Tor Fantasy, 1992 Very Oriental: black for white + Not Free SF Reader + A gem of a find. In traditional western culture "White Magic" is good magic and Black Magic is evil. In oriental mythology there is a reversal as in this world. L. E. Modesitt has done an amazing job of constructing a mythology and world with his own rules and physical laws. The young Lerris never has a chance: ...             Crossroads of Twilight (Wheel of Time, Book 10)2417 reviews Robert Jordan Tor Fantasy, 2003 Not as bad as I thought it'd be 3.5 stars. The events in the beginning of this book, told from Mat, Perrin, and Elayne's perspective, occur simultaneously with the ending scene of the previous book, Winter's Heart. The last several books, beginning with A Crown of Swords, have slowed down time-wise considerably with events ...             Winter's Heart (The Wheel of Time, Book 9)1094 reviews Robert Jordan Tor Books, 2002 What a buy! + Getting back on track + the wheel of time keeps turning + Winter's Heart, Robert Jordan continues series excellence             The Path of Daggers (The Wheel of Time, Book 8)1710 reviews Robert Jordan Tor Fantasy, 1999 A lot of character interaction/detail, less action The Path of Daggers starts where the previous book, A Crown of Swords concluded. Roughly a month to a month and a half passes throughout the 8th book. In A Crown of Swords, Rand conquerors the city/nation of Illian and kills the Forsaken Sammael. He is then named King of Illian and presented ...             Ordermaster (Saga of Recluce)18 reviews L. E. Modesitt Tor Fantasy, 2005 A Powerful, But Specialized Mage + Another Great Recluce Novel + Can't really decide. + Brilliance...             Magi'i of Cyador (The Saga of Recluce)25 reviews L. E. Modesitt Tor Fantasy, 2001 A strong story + None + Fills background of the Recluse Saga The Recluce series involves the tension between two forms of psychic powers: White and Black, or Order and Chaos. Neither is intrinsically evil and there are good folk in both groups. Though this is chronologically the first book, it is perhaps the tenth to be published. The stories have grown ...             Fall of Angels (Saga of Recluce)19 reviews L. E. Modesitt Jr. Tor Fantasy, 1997 Great read :) + The Saga Continues + Even further back in time. Good, but predictable. I want to first mention that I'm not a big fan of sci-fi in books. I love fantasy (dungeons and dragons) books, but (generally) dislike fantasy TV/Movies because they don't do it well. My feelings on Sci-fi are usually the opposite. When I first started reading Fall of Angels I thought I'd made a ...             The White Order (Saga of Recluce)18 reviews L. E. Modesitt Jr. Tor Fantasy, 1999 Finally a stroy from the other side of the coin + Not Free SF Reader + superb story + Speedy service + A wonderful book...             The Fires of Heaven (The Wheel of Time, Book 5)244 reviews Robert Jordan Tor Fantasy, 1994 FANTASTIC + A step up from Shadow Rising + Some problems, but redeemed by a killer ending. + Book five of the Wheel of Time             The Order War (Recluce series, Book 4)13 reviews L. E. Modesitt Jr. Tor Fantasy, 1996 Much better! + Good but not Great + Not Free SF Reader + Another good book, but a step down from the previous two             Knife of Dreams (The Wheel of Time, Book 11)524 reviews Robert Jordan Tor Fantasy, 2006 There will be a Final Book (#12 Memory of Light) to the Wheel of Time + Book 11 + Almost finished! + A Great Comeback
