The world Corus has been redesigned to become the new home of a superior race from a distant world whose very life depends on drawing sustenance from the biological life force of a planet. Meanwhile their plans are supervised by a staff of Alectors who in effect rule the world. The Alectors alone have access to the huge, flying pteridons they have bred and the superior weapons that underpin their psychic talents.
The time is now fast approaching for the transfer of the whole population from the old world, nearly bled dry of life force, to Corus. But neither the Alectors (who will be reduced in status when the real powers arrive) nor the local humans (who seem destined to become no more than cattle, though they know nothing of this) are ready. And the mysterious Ancient Ones, the true natives of Corus and assumed to have died out in eons past, still survive, and they have their own powers. The situation builds toward an explosive climax.

Corus, the setting for this tale, is his best yet. His battle scenes are very well written. But in his trilogies, the second volume has consistently been the weakest. He really only has one plot, although his variations on that basic plot can be interesting. And he remains purely incapable of writing a love scene."Cadmian's Choice" is the second novel in this extended prequel to the previously written Corean Trilogy ("Legacies," "Darknesses" and "Scepters"). It's mostly a political story. Modesitt is great at inventing complex political situations, and concealing the true motives of the characters, but he's not so hot at keeping it all interesting. The story drags until the final third, when Dainyl - the alien Alector - and Mykel - the human but Talented Cadmian soldier - finally get into battle. Fantasy writers need to understand that any time they devote more than a sentence to characters' clothing the inevitable comparisons to Robert Jordan will start. We already know Alectors wear shimmersilk. And I don't think the first thing Mykel noticed on regaining consciousness was the color of his girl's outfit.The second volume of a trilogy is always hard to make compelling. It's a transition between the introduction in the first volume and the conclusion in the third. In a prequel, where you know how it is eventually going to turn out, it's even harder. There's a certain amount of interest in watching characters develop, but that can be thin across 768 pages.A Cadmian's Choice, if I understand the story, is getting an apparent enemy to voluntarily accept a curse. Mykel, who may or may not be a Dagger of the Ancients, confronts such a choice. You, as the reader, face a Hobson's Choice. Modesitt's third volumes in his trilogies are usually his best. If you want to understand the events in that future third book, you'll have to make your way through this one. This middle volume isn't bad; it's just not very good. It's not up to Modesitt's usual standards and it is considerably below his best work.

Just a lot of setup and slow character development. The only major action happens at the very end and the entire plot of the series is only slightly advanced.I would still buy it because I like the series but you may be a bit dissapointed.

Derivative of all his prior writing, not necessarily a bad thing By Jason Jarvis Reading a Modesitt book is like having a really good hamburger at a restaurant. It's not gourmet food. You feel like you could make it yourself at home but it's too much trouble. You've had a dozen of them in the last year but you aren't sick of them. Sometimes they are a little tastier than others, but generally, you get what you pay for.I feel like that with Modesitt, and that's not a criticism. I really like hamburgers.He is so formula in his writing it's almost like you could write the plot outline just from looking at the cover picture:Male character is up-and-coming minor officer, who climbs the ranks after being smarter and more powerful than his superiors believe, and on the way, is a little unorthodox but ultimately does nothing surprising. Along the way, you get to enjoy nice desciptions of politics, magic, or some sort of craftmaking (whether sheep shearing or wood working), and the entire novel ends in a too-quick rush of action in the last twenty pages that makes you wish the book had a little more action earlier and a little less towards the end.That formula in mind, this book deviates little. But what makes Modesitt work, and this book in particular, is that his writing is just very....readable. I can't tell you how much I have wanted to enjoy other authors but found the writing too dense (Thomas Covenant series) or too simplistic (David Eddings comes to mind). Sometimes the writing is just bad (a lot of D&D RPG novels are like that). A really good writer can make a technical manual about editing database structure readable (I'm not saying interesting, I'm saying readable). Modesitt is a really good writer.I won't go over the plot. Other people have. I found it interesting and fun, though hard to follow at times with the various political intrigue and the fact that the names are all so similar among the various players and their locations/interests undefined enough that it's impossible to keep track. But I still enjoyed it.It's the middle of what's really a six book series with the first three set thousands of years after the last three. But it's a fun new world that isn't dominated by discussions of law and chaos, so I've enjoyed it.My suggestion: If you like Modesitt there's no reason you won't like this book. If you don't like him, don't bother. If you don't know him, start with the Magic of Recluse. If you can't put that book down, jump into this new world head first.
