Great Character, great World, great Story but theĮven after 5 books in the series, I read through book 6 in record time. I may be a little critical here, but I do enjoy this series enough that I spend my credits on them. Should there be more prequels written than the main trilogy that started Imagers? On the other hand, I am impressed on the speed that L. Modesitt might be able to focus on a future story line involving imagers instead of this prequel business. I'm a little sad because I hoped this would end as a trilogy so L.

We have a decent conclusion to events in this book, but there are many things that still need to happen to secure a future for imagers. Anyhow, we get a book 7, Antiagon Fire, which just came out recently. I didn't think he was the best narrator for the first three books and I would have preferred for this new set of characters to have someone else. I wish William Dufris would cut out his injured voice. This isn't exactly something new and such themes repeat through the other two previous books. What made this a 3 star instead of a higher rating for me was the constant second guessing, moaning, justification, and false modesty Quaeryt would go through in his campaign of carnage. We explore what it might take for this to happen and can make connections to what creates the rules in which imagers must live by in the future. He commits to this military campaign in order to secure a need and better standing for imagers in his land. We have established that our protagonist is a strong leader and the best imager around and now we get to see him training others. Now in book 6, Imager's Battalion, we get a continuation of adventures involving Quaeryt as he goes on a military march to Bovaria as a sub commander to destroy some evil ruler. In book 5, Princeps, we got to see Quaeryt function as a governor as he delved into the intricacies of politics and problems that arise from corrupt government.

In book 4, Scholar, we were introduced to Quaeryt, in the beginning of this prequel for the Imagers series, where he learns to become a master imager. Still Around? You Should Like This One Well Enough
