Very good

Great book by a great author. I like all L E Modesitt's books, so I was expecting good things from this new series. I wasn't disappointed.

I must admit that at the start, I wasn't too keen on the narrator's accent, but after a few chapters, I got used to it, and I now hope he narrates the rest of the series as well

I'm downloading the second book in the series now.

If you like Modesitt's Recluse series, you'll love this new series as well.

Very good for a freebie

Nothing spectacular or surprisingly new; the usual plot of coming of age, schooling and rising to hero in fantasy isle. The writing is ok, narration too. It is not read I would swallow in one go, but considering all series (12 books!) are included in membership, there is nothing to complain about. It is in my library and I will return to it when there is nothing better on the menu.

Very enjoyable listen

This is my first L E Modesto Jr story and it really works for me. He brilliantly leads us through Rhen’s education as a Imager, while at the same time introducing the world he lives in. The action has good buildup and is not excessive. I also loved the way romantic interest which also adds to the plot and the complexity of the family interactions.

Simply wonderful!

The whole story is just nicely paced and beatifuly written. The whole world, the thoughts that are there is simply a pure brain hug. It is very relaxing to listen to and makes one think a lot as well. Narration is very well done.

Most enjoyable

If you enjoy LE Modesitt's style of writing you'll love this book. This is such a fun mix of 'historical' fiction and a crime novel - almost making Renn (the main character) feel like a type of James Bond. I enjoyed all the twists and turns the book took. It made me nostalgic about the times when I was a student and fell in love. Definitely worth a listen.

I just found that the voice actor sometimes started reading in a bit of a monotone which made it hard to stay focused.
