A review by mikehex
The Towers of the Sunset by L.E. Modesitt Jr.
3.0
A big step up from the first Recluce book. I got this one in the Tor.com free book program and, if any Tor people are reading this, it worked, I'll be continuing through the series, at least for a few more books.
Modesitt's writing style take a bit to get used to, between the sparse descriptions, the sound effects and the distance he keeps from the characters. But he does let the reader develop an emotional attachment to the 2 main characters in this novel that I thought was missing from the first. We'll see if that continues.
I'm a sucker for world-building, so I'm hoping Modesitt keeps me interested in the individual stories/characters as he lays out this world.
