Review: Imager's Intrigue: The Third Book of the Imager Portfolio [Kindle Edition]

Imager's Intrigue  - L.E. Modesitt Jr.

The story of Rhennthyl D'Imagisle draws to a close in this third book of the Imager Portfolio. The first novel detailed how Rhenn come to be an Imager and how he fell in love with Seliora, and the second novel displayed Rhenn's continued rise to power as he struggled to help improve Solidar one disaster at a time. In this third novel, Rhenn continues his work as a Civic Patrol Captain until one day he he abruptly needed at the Collegium when the two more powerful Imagers are killed during a bombardment of the Senior Maitre's dwellings. Rhenn and his family survive to find the world a lot more complicated and even more dangerous. Not only does Rhenn need to learn quickly to best fill his new position at the Collegium, but he has to do this while investigating the bombardments, the increasing number of Ferran agents, and treachery from within Solidar.

This third novel is the most action packed of them all, and shows the continued development of Rhenn's powers as well as his quiet action as a Civic Patrol Captain. The twists and turns in the storyline will keep you guessing as to the final outcome. Even though you know deep down that everything will end up well in the end, the roadbumps along the way can be both amusing and terrifying. The author does a great job showing both how power can corrupt as well as the true faces of the people who pledge their lives to keep the country safe.
