Can you see how the pieces fit together? Not just the visible ones, like the towers of the sunset, but those unseen, like the heart of a man or the soul of a wizard.
What’s awesome about it
- The langauge is beautiful (as you can see above)
- The worldbuilding and the use of the word ‘masculine’.
What’s not-so-awesome
- There’s no blurb! At least on my copy. This makes it very hard to place the book in context to the first, The Magic of Recluce
- The last half of the book is kinda boring
- Magera is a twit.
Would I buy the sequel? I already did, in fact, not only did get the sequel, The Magic Engineer, I splurged on its sequels as well, The Order War and The Death of Chaos. I just haven’t read them yet.
