A review by mary_soon_lee
Scepters by L.E. Modesitt Jr.

4.0

This is the third book in Modesitt's fantasy series, "The Corean Chronicles," and (I think) concludes the story of Alucius, a character very much in the mold of Modesitt's typical heroes: highly capable, hard on himself, trying to do what he thinks is right. Although the book is primarily fantasy, it contains significant science fiction components. I thought the mixing of genres worked, but I did find the science-fictional characters, the ifrits, a little too one-note. Other than that, I very much enjoyed the book. In addition to liking Alucius and being throughly caught up in his adventures, I also enjoyed Wendra and Feran. Book four is calling....
