Review of Fall of Angels by L.E. Modesitt, Jr.

Fall of Angels by L.E. Modesitt, Jr, http://www.lemodesittjr.com/, is a fantasy book with elements of science fiction. This book is number six in the Saga of Recluse series.

The story is about Nylan, Ryba, and other marines that crashland on what is known as the Roof of the World on an unknown planet. Nylan, Ryba, and the other marines are what are known as Angels The story is told from the point of view of Nylan. Nylan is only one of three men to crash land with the women. Nylan, an engineer and a mage, builds most of the land on the Roof of the World. Ryba is the Captain of the marines and is designated as the commander of the group.The characters discover that there is a predominant culture of women being treated as property, which differs in their culture in so far as that women are seen as equals. As a consequence of that viewpoint, the characters are constantly attacked by the inhabitants of the world. The story relates how the Empire of the Legend was created.

In all, Fall of Angels by L.E. Modesitt, Jr. was a decent read. The book gets four out of five stars. I only give it four out five because I felt that there was too much of a hatred of men and that women were superior to men. That theme did not sit well with me. Other than that, the plot was great and the description was eloquently detailed.
