About this ebook
Legacies, book one of the Corean Chronicles, begins a new epic fantasy series by L. E. Modesitt, Jr., author of the bestselling Saga of Recluce. Enter this new and exciting world.
Millennia ago, a magical disaster caused the fall of a civilization, the end of a golden age. New civilizations emerged from the ancient destruction and chaos, knowing little of the past or the disaster. Corus today is a world of contending countries, humans, and supernatural creatures. It is a place of magical powers, and of a few people who are talented enough to use them.
Alusius is drafted into the local Militia and must fight against the invading slave armies of The Matrial, an immortal ruler in a nearby land. If the evil surrounding The Matrial is not brought to an end, the world as he knows it could very well end.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I like this trilogy a fair amount 3.5 stars. Not as good as his Recluse series, but better than the Soprano Sorceress series. There is another trilogy set in the same world that comes before this chronologically.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This military fantasy novel is typical of Modesitt's unique style. The setting and activities of the characters are described in extensive detail, which makes for great world-building, although it is a bit tedious to read, at times. While it is heavy on strategy and tactics, the characters tend to have all the personality and individuality of game pieces. It's definitely not a character driven story, but if you like tales full of magically augmented battles, you'll probably go this one.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Let's see...military magic handsome, strong, smart, magically powerful young man basically 1 POV = a wonderful story. I read Henty's historical fiction for the "good young soldier books" and others for the fantastical magic. I have to enjoy when it is combined.Modesitt has less of the funny sound effects that were in previous books (horses "whuffing", etc), though a few repeated words (he likes to use "[he/she] offered" a bit much in replace of "[he/she] said").In spite of those few flaws, I'll eat up this series, and then want more, I'm sure.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Despite long military descriptions characters held my attention Interest well.
