Imager Portfolio

Imager Portfolio may not be L.E. Modesitt Jr’s most original fantasy, but it undoubtedly fits the sub-genre. Set in the nation of Solidar, it follows Rhennthyl, a wool master’s son. A dedicated master artisan, his path is changed when he realizes his latent magical powers. As an Imager, Rhen can turn his imagination into reality. Unfortunately, that comes with some quirks, and one is accidental spellcasting. As a result, Rhen isn’t the usual confident hero. His whole career has been thrown away, but he remains modest and likable. Despite his circumstances, the reader doesn’t have to listen to pages of complaints. The coming of age story is easily enjoyable, yet still has hints of a deeper philosophy. It’s all augmented by Modessitt’s renowned world-building, which includes well-developed religions, a colorful world, and an incredibly interesting society.
