Imager Portfolio
Description
This is Le Modessit’s best work so far. It’s not a standout fantasy series, but it is pretty entertaining. Modessit’s fantasy typically features a young callow boy who rises through the ranks to become a power player in society, usually because of a few aces up the sleeve – brilliant tactical abilities and powerful hidden magic abilities. The Imager Portfolio follows the same sort of formula, but Modessit creates an interesting world full of rigid social orders and class politics. Into this maelstrom of nascent social conflict, our hero is thrust to change the political and magical landscape.A good series to read, especially if you want a fantasy that deals more with human conflict than any sort of defeat-the-dark power conceit that the typical fantasy novel incorporates. Definetly read this if you love his Recluce books. I'd say the Imager Portfolio series is better overall -- more complex heroes dealing with more complex issues.
