Title: Abstractionist Period?
Product review: L.E. Modesitt, Jr. is an incredible writer, I have enjoyed dozens of his novels. This wasn't one of them. Quite honestly, the deeper I got into it, the more confused I became. From other reviews here, it is suggested that this is a novel about a thwarted love interest, politics, religion, revenge and redemption. I'll have to take their word for that, I read only a mishmash of hazy ideas and unconnected lines. Quite a departure from the author's "Recluse" and "Corean Chronicles" sagas, which were straightforward and enjoyable fantasies with a strong beginning, middle and finish.Happily, this novel does have a "search inside" option, I suggest you avail yourself of that opportunity before buying it. If the first few pages don't throw you into an esoteric spin, you might enjoy it.
