"Imager" is the first book in a new fantasy series by the insanely prolific L. E. Modesitt Jr., whose works I usually enjoy very much --- and this one was no exception, despite the fact that it's so recognizably his work that it verges on the predictable. Actually, I'm sure that some Modesitt fans could have predicted the early part of this novel's plot just by looking at the map: hmmm... looks like a city with a bunch of artist studio's, and in the center there's something called "Imager's Isle"... so maybe we have yet another craftsman (see:The Magic of Recluce") who discovers he has some strange power and ends up in a magical training organization of some sort? Bingo. However, I'm being unfair. Modesitt Jr. displays his usual care and love of detail in the worldbuilding - so much detail that this book will probably be too slow for some readers, but if you appreciate someone who takes the time to describe a fantasy world in such detail that it almost seems real, Modesitt's your guy. As usual, extensive meditations on the ethics of the protagonist's various actions are included, showing (as always) various shades of gray. As usual, the dialogue is often filled with subtlety and understated humor. The magic system appears very simplistic at first but there are strong hints that more detail is hidden below the surface. Also very promising: this first book, while by no means boring, covers only the early parts of the main character's career and a small part of the world. In short, I'm more interested in reading book 2 of this series (when it comes out) than I was after the first book of Modesitt's last fantasy series, the Corean Chronicles (which I took a break from after book 3). (Caveat: I usually like his SF much, much more than his fantasy.) So... I'd recommend this one to fans of the author as well as to newcomers who may want to check out his style. It's a solid example of his style of writing, and a promising start to a new series. But I'd still suggest some of his stand-alone SF before any of his fantasy (The Parafaith War, Archform: Beauty, Adiamante, The Ethos Effect and Flash are all great).
