The imager portfolio7/8/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() The magical theme of "Imager" draws on the "natural ability to create magic" like his other worlds but this one manifests through images - the creation of and skill in portraying such images. Indeed it was, but somehow the lead character of Rhennthyl just doesn't match the likeability of Recluce's Lerris or Cerryl nor is he as strong as Corus' Alucius. ![]() I expected more of the same picking up this new series (albeit nearly a decade after this first book was penned). They are heavy on characters with a strong sense of morality each book is ponderous with action, onerous on observation, careful on justification. The Recluce Saga, The Spellsong Saga, and The Corean Chronicles have always stood out as unique in their style of fantasy writing compared to contemporary authors like Feist, Eddings, Wurts, Donaldson etc.… The reason for this is that each book has been strongly imbued with social and political philosophy. ![]()
