Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

The Lord-Protector's Daughter by L.E. Modesitt, jr

This blog is not becoming an all Modesitt blog.   However I do have the next book in the series on order.   Ha!


This book is set before the first three books in the Corean Chronicles and after the next three.  Court intrigue and succession are the major themes in this volume.

Mykel of the last few books is now a historic figure.   The land that he undertook to protect has flourished but seems to be in a decline.   The current Lord Protector does not seem to measure up to the Talent that Mykel displayed.

Mykella, a female namesake, is the protagonist in this book.   She discovers facets of her being that were previously unknown.   She also faces the Soarers who have been in every volume of the series.

If you have read any of my reviews, you have seen I am  fond of a strong female protagonist.   The men in this book seem terrified by competent  women and dismayingly enough, I know a few guys who would fit in that category.   Kudos to Modesitt for providing strong role models for both young men and women.

In my repetitive closing on Modesitt's books, I am an admitted admirer of Modesitt's style and work.  There is a common thread of honor and responsibility through his work.  His characters struggle to maintain their core identities and to remain truly humble in spite of increasing power.

I highly recommend.  




This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
