I read the magic of Recluce and i'm starting the Towers of Sunset. It does not follow the first book. So i'm wandering if i'm reading the right book. Can anybody tell the order i should follow. Plz

I havent read them myself, but I know that earlier in these forums there was discussion of those books, in reference to chronology and proper reading order. Some people said to read them in the order they were published, while others maintained that reading the chronologically was more meaningful. Just search the forums and I'm sure you'll find the thread.

I've read the first 3 books up to The Magic Engineer a couple years ago. I think I quit reading cause he described what everyone was eating too much. Made me hungry reading those books. http://www.sffworld.com/ubb/smile.gif

I was recently reading the Magic Engineer, but I couldn't get past 100 pages. It seemed so simplistic, it was boring me to death. Does anyone know if it is worth to end this book?

Dennizm?

If you find yourself reading Modesitt, it means you've either suffered a serious blow to the head, or you've a wish to end your life.

That bad, eh?
I thought so!

The stars will shine no more for you should you stay with Modesitt.

whoa whoa- read it in order it works out in the end (pretty good series too...)

Methinks this series is wonderful just for the reason Bardos expressed as negative. It's simplistic and relaxing, not all this mocking about with super grand battles and thousands of characters/places to keep track of (Robert Jordan).
Personally I read the series in the order that they were published, but you might as well read them chronologically, probably a bit less confusing :p

I enjoyed them... but I have 2 gripes with him...

The amount of detail... I can understand Bardos thinking they are boring... this guy describes everything... the guy has a wash, wipes his face... and the water he spilled on the floor... and then hangs the towel up to dry... blah blah blah...zzzzzzzzz. It just goes on and on. :D

My other gripe is the soundFX... creeeeeaak the door opened, and nnnnnniieghhhhhhhh went the horse. It is not just every so often.... but every paragrah in some cases.

But... there is a good tale beneath all that... worth the effort, you can really feel proud of yourself for finishing these!!! :D

Gee... I have a headache, oh sorry... it is a head wound ;) :p
