I finished up The Magic of Recluce (excellent!) and started into the second book, The Towers of Sunset, but it wasn't really grabbing me. I ended up switching to Rally Cry, the first Lost Regiment book by William R. Forstchen, which was a lot of fun. The historical details and attention paid to establishing Civil War era infrastructure from scratch added another dimension to what was in most respects a pulp adventure story (but quite enjoyable on that level, too).

I've returned to the second Recluce book and gotten a little more drawn in, though so far it seems less interesting than the first. The first book is a worthwhile standalone read even if you don't want to sign on for the series.
