A review by readlovegrow
Imager by L.E. Modesitt Jr.

4.0

This is definitely a "slow-build" fantasy novel, and the magic is pretty under-stated. There are many pages of dialogue between characters discussing styles of government, philosophy, and economics with most of the exciting action/events taking place towards the end of the novel. I wasn't immersed or "drawn-in" as well as I could have been (political spy/assassin not really being "my thing"), but I wasn't bored or repulsed either. I decided to move forward with the second book in the Imager trilogy (within the bigger Portfolio series) just to see where the character will go, but I probably won't be counting it among my favorites.
