    The thrilling follow-up to Scholar-in
    which, after discovering a coup attempt and preventing a bloody civil
    war, Quaeryt was appointed princeps of Tilbor-begins a new episode
    inthe young Imager'slife. Now second only to the governor, and still
    hiding his powers as an Imager, Quaeryt is enjoying his new position, as
    well as his marriage to Lord Bhayar's youngest sister, Vaelora, when a
    volcanic eruption devastates the old capital of Telaryn. He
    and his wife are dispatched to Extela, Telaryn's capitol city, to
    replace the governor killed in the eruption. Quaeryt and Vaelora must
    restore order to a city filled with chaos and corruption, and do so
    quickly. The regiment under his command must soon depart to bolster
    Telaryn's border defenses against a neighboring ruler who sees the
    volcanic devastation as an opportunity for invasion and conquest.

      Another great book by a great author making great series
    • 4/5
      Once again we turn to the world were Imaging is magic. The use of ones mind to create something, such as Ice in the center of the brain, an offensive spell that can do serious damage. Here Modest takes his series forward to conquer his entire continent. Though it can not be done all in one book. The first half is like a FEMA mission and by far the better part of the book. Should the entire novel have been in the same vein, I think it would have been much better. By the end, as the conquest starts to gain momentum, we find the storytelling fall into a rut that will continue through the remainder of the series. Now our hero is working on training more imagers, getting their wild powers under control so that they can be harassed to not the most perfect government but better than anyone else.Worthy of a read, but be prepared for same-old, same old before the series is over.

      I finished this several days ago & was so excited to get into the next book that I forgot to review this one. It continues on with the same character from the 4th & is every bit as good. Can I say more? Sure. Should I? No. Don't start with this book. You can start with the 4th book, although I'd suggest starting with the first & read them in published order. While this set comes first chronologically, Modesitt grows our understanding of the world better in published order.
