More About the Author

After spending years writing poetry, political speeches and analyses, as well as economic and technical reports on extraordinarily detailed and often boring subjects, I finally got around to writing my first short story, which was published in 1973. I kept submitting and occasionally having published stories until an editor indicated he'd refuse to buy any more until I wrote a novel. So I did, and it was published in 1982, and I've been writing novels -- along with a few short stories -- ever since.

3.0 out of 5 stars The Harmonies were a bit off key, July 5, 1999
By 
Emmanuel Umoren (Oswego, IL United States) - See all my reviews
Well this is the 2nd book featuring Anna the Soprano Sorceress. I did wait for this one to come out and I hate to admit it but I was a bit disappointed. The story seemed to really plod along at times, in fact at some points it was actually boring! Also I realize it's a feudal society but is every man really that much dumber than the females?? Anyway while it wasn't as great as the first I must say overall I did enjoy it. The multiple unresolved and tangled plotlines really kept me intrigued. Modesitt is also doing a great job of showing that being the ruler ain't all that great and that being the biggest shark in the water tends to attract every other shark. Well here's to hoping the 3rd book is on par with the 1st!

4.0 out of 5 stars Contradictory and yet strangely compelling..., January 5, 1999
By A Customer
I wouldn't exactly call Anna a particlularly likeable character. She's petty, ruthless and she almost hates all men. Although the book suggests that Erde is slightly sexist, the only person in the book who is majorly bashing the other gender is Anna. Yet despite this, she is a fascinating character. Because her beliefs drip hypocrisy, (Killing as many people as you want is okay as long as you have justifiable motives? Yeah, right!) she has a certain dimension to her many other heroines lack. However, I feel that supporting characters need more development. Also interesting is how the book questions the limitations of being a ruler, and lets us look into the mind of a conqueror. Fascinating read, albeit heroine can be irritating.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Further Adventures of the Soprano Sorceress, May 23, 2000
In the follow up to The Soprano Sorceress, Anna finds herself and her adopted nation under siege from all sides. Using her powerful spell songs, Anna manages to pull through but not without some difficulty. I'd like to see this series explore her use of spell songs to control humans. She has used it innumerable times to force people to behave a certain way and it should have some dark consequences later on.
