Publishers Weekly Review
Fairhaven Rising
Publishers Weekly
(c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved
The extraordinary 23rd chapter in Modesitt's Saga of Recluce (after Mage-Fire War), picks up 16 years after the founding of the town of Fairhaven as the town council finds that Fairhaven's success brings greater demands from its nominal ruler, the Duchess of Montgren. Now, shifting alliances among Fairhaven's larger neighbors sends four young mages--two of white chaos, two of black healing magic--together with squads of troopers to aid the Viscount of Certis in taking a border town from his rival, the Prefect of Gallos. But Taelya, a white mage, undercaptain of the road guard, and daughter of Fairhaven's treasurer, worries that current allies may not prove trustworthy--a fear that's confirmed at the worst possible moment, as the Fairhaven troops confront Gallosian soldiers and their strongest mage. Modesitt, never afraid to delve into the nitty-gritty details of magic, keeps an equally close eye on day-to-day life, like the making of a good breakfast, resulting in an immersive experience. Much like the troopers patiently marching to fulfill their duty, the book moves at a slow and steady pace, building up to a realistic and rewarding conclusion. Series fans are sure to be pleased.
