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.

What I Am Currently Reading

I am reading the Saga of Recluse series, by L.E. Modesitt, Jr., out of order like a fool. I am not even reading them in chronological order according to this site: http://www.alltimelines.com/saga-of-recluce/. I started out with the fourth book, The Order War. Then I just finished reading the sixth book, Fall of Angels, and I have my review of it coming out tomorrow. Finally, the last book I own from the series so far is The Magic of Recluse, which is the first book. So far my favorite book of the series is The Order War. I am probably going to review The Order War and The Magic of Recluse if anyone wants them reviewed or I want to review them. I think it'll be the latter and the reviews will be out after I finish reading The Magic of Recluse.

I am also reading The Moral Arc: How Science Makes Us Better People by Michael Shermer, https://www.amazon.com/Moral-Arc-Science-Better-People. This book is going to take me a while to read and it sits on the back burner for now.

I am in the middle of Green Town U.S.A.: The Handbook for America's Sustainable Future by Thomas J. Fox, https://www.amazon.com/Green-Town-USA-Handbook-Sustainable/. It is an interesting read so far and I should be done with it within a week or less.

I am probably going to add a fourth book to my list of currently reading. It is Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut, https://www.amazon.com/Slaughterhouse-Five-Novel-Modern-Library-Novels. It sounds to be a promising and interesting book. I can't wait to read it.

If you have any suggestions on books I should read, feel free to comment them below. Thank you!
