jdavidhacker1 reviewed The Hammer of Darkness by L. E. Modesitt Jr.
None
2 stars
I can see the seeds of themes that would later appear in other works like the Recluce saga in this. However, I've tried to read this twice, and it feels like an early, clumsy effort compared to so much of Modesitt's later work that I enjoy so much. The dialogue feels stilted and unrealistic, and the narrative is pretty jumpy.
