A World of Magic - L. E. Modesitt, Jr.
September 10th 2006 17:48
My favorite series by L. E. Modesitt, Jr. is the Spellsong Cycle. I bought the Soprano Sorceress because I liked other books Modesitt wrote and it was on sale. I'm rather cheap. It was a hardback selling for less than a paperback, and the premise sounded interesting.
The series starts with Anna feeling out of sorts and very tired of the life she was living at that time. She wishes she could be anywhere but where she was at that moment. The next thing she knows she's staring at 2 people dressed in strange clothing and speaking strangely. All the people in that world insist she's a sorceress, but she doesn't believe them at first. Learning by trial and error, Anna doesn't realize there are rules to the magic she's using that she, unknowing, has broken. Many of the rulers in the lands that are enemies of Defalk, her adopted land, tried to kill her. Even the conquerer of her adopted land used her to defend Defalk and then wanted to kill her after she defeated a huge army. However, she killed him first and took over the country. This isn't the end of the first book, but I don't want to spoil the book for you.
