The ancient magic of wizards was anything but dark. It was the enlightenment that lifted humanity from the squalor of superstition, and the worship of fell spirits and capricious gods, but those days are gone. The shining glory of the sorcerers burned away the subtlety of wisdom, replacing it with easy power, held only in the hands of the elite - a new age built upon the elemental supremacy of aristocrats and the ignorance of the masses.

Resumen del Editor
Then, in a single moment, his entire life is transformed when his master patron is killed in a flash fire and Rhenn discovers he is an imager - one of the few in the entire world of Terahnar who can visualize things and make them real.
Rhenn is forced to leave his family and join the Collegium of Imagisle. Because of their abilities (they can do accidental magic even while asleep), and because they are both feared and vulnerable, imagers must live separately from the rest of society.
In this new life, Rhenn discovers that all too many of the "truths" he knew were nothing of the sort. Every day brings a new threat to his life. He makes a powerful enemy while righting a wrong, and he begins to learn to do magic in secret.
Imager is the innovative and enchanting opening of an involving new fantasy story.

Knowledge is power. That would be the motto of Lander University, had it not been snatched up and used to death by others long before the school was founded. For while Lander offers a full range of courses to nearly all students, it also offers a small number of specialty classes to a very select few. Lander is home to the Hero Certification Program, a curriculum designed to develop student with superhuman capabilities, commonly known as Supers, into official Heroes.

Slow Start, Narrator requires getting used to.
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, it is a good storyline even for all the wasted time on what the main character is eating or how many times he describes the door knocker at his betrothed home.
What did you like best about this story?
The idea behind imaging and how it is tolerated and yet not seemingly exploited.
Did William Dufris do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
Dufris is passable. He does a terrible job at women, tries to make them all sultry sounding and really cannot do young people very well. His main character comes across more arrogant than I believe the author intended and had I not actually read this book first I would not have known that.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
No.
Any additional comments?
Great series but Modesitt should spend less time on what is on the table at dinner time or what type of wine Rhen is ordering and more time in developing the endings which in my opinion have been rushed considering the build up.

Get past the first two chapters - it's worth it
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
At first, I hated his book. I am not a stupid person, but the terminology used left me feeling confused and idiotic. I tried to return the book, but the site had an error. I decided to continue and I am glad that I did. Once I began ignoring his odd use of calendar and time terms it got a lot easier to follow. (Ex: half glass = half an hour) As the book continued, I got very involved in the plot and began to attach to the characters. If you have the will and determination to overlook the first two chapters and allow your mind to "skim" as it is read - the rest of the story is brilliant. If you love magic, science fiction, and the like - you will love this story. I look forward to hunting for more from this author.

Review on Imager Portfolio book 1.
I did love it even more sense I currently have all of the Imager portfolio book set from "Imager" to "Assassins Price". All 11 books. So now I can follow along with the audio book and find all the differences between the two; to-wich i have found in the first book already hence the reason the story has only 4 stars and not 5. Although the books both audio and non-audio are both very good.

loved it
I can not wait for the next book. You also need to read Modesitt's recluse books. I wish they where on Audible to down load.

A great beginning, steeped in math!
Math makes the world go around in Imager. Oligarchs, High holders(extremely wealthy people), factors (merchants), craftsmen, artists, and so much more. The world’s mathematics make the setting far richer than I would’ve ever imagined it could be.
I’m a huge fan of the supporting cast of characters, especially Seliora, who is my kind of lady. Some people will get lost in the names, and I can understand that. Yet, I have rarely tried to keep track of every single name said in a book. Keep to the important people to the perspective character and keep it going.
As for the use of economics in the story, it pulls the world together in a new way for me. The value of coins matters, and the world makes money matter. Unlike some other worlds I’ve read stories about. In most cases, the characters either have money or don’t. You never know how they get it or why they seem to not worry about it. Yet, Rhennthyl explains in small passages throughout the first and second thirds of the story how his life changes financially. It’s a great touch that I intend to swipe unapologetically!
I can appreciate the world building that is on display in this book as well. Steam power exists, and thus everything else can be arranged. Sniper rifles and guns exist. No explanation of design types, but why would you need that? Steam can make guns exist, chemistry isn’t in the forefront, so gunpowder must exist. Any firearm from any world you can imagine can exist here, so in this case he doesn’t need to expose more than their existence. On the flip side is food and wine descriptions, which adds a richness to the world on a more personal level that gives his characters more of a concrete feel. This is a masterclass in first person world building.
I’m in for the first three books for certain. On to book 2.
Oh, and by the by, the performance by Mr. Dufris was well done, and I enjoyed it.

Great world-building and magic system!
A talented journeyman portrait artist and son of a successful merchant, his life upended is forced to choose between certain failure in his current profession, or to take a gamble and train as an Imager (sorcerer) on Imagisle. A highly dangerous, unpopular and unknown profession.
This is a great place to start for readers new to Modesitt. It's a relatively smaller series, one of his better books, and a good example of his style of writing.
Modesitt creates an interesting world and goes into depth on the politics, economy, culture and religion of the world. The magic system is top notch, incredibly detailed and believable. He walks the perfect line between magic powerful enough to be interesting, but limited enough that he doesn't write himself into a corner where his foes have to be gods to challenge him and any problem can be solved as easily as snapping fingers.
If you want to immerse yourself a great new world, if you are looking for an interesting and great magic system, then this book is for you.
Great book.
William Dufris is a great narrator. Each character is differentiated very well.

ill definitely try the 2nd one.
The story was good. a little slow but worth the wait. It is definitely a set up story for the rest of the series. ill continue in the folio. The narrator was good. The voices weren't as varried as some other narrators and the voice he uses for the main character seems a little more pompous than the character should be in my opinion. All in all he was good though. Very consistent.

Good potential
This book had some interesting concepts. The magical ability’s come in the form of imaging this is where the Imager imagines an item in his mind and then it happens in the real world. This ability is not limited to items or just mere physical objects but can be applied to people. This is a world building book so it has a lot of detail about the world this book is taking place in, the people, how magic works, the different factions, and the relationships among people. This process was slow at parts, too much detail about mundane activity’s that had nothing to do with the progression of the story. Overall not bad, I would give this 3 ½ stars.

A long, but good listen
Pretty good book. It was an adequate world with two moons, magic, varying religions, races, cultures and politics. I always wonder when I finish long books if it needed to be such along book? It was interesting to get into the life, daily thoughts and minutia of an imagers life . Yet, I feel it could easily have been an eight to ten hour book. I'm still off to buy the next one, I still think this one is worth a credit.

a political book
was so disappointed listen to part 1 and 2 just waiting for the dialogue to end and the story to begin but there is so much political stuff going on Im not sure what the author was thinking I'm mean his character has the ability to imagine anything into existence yet he spends more time telling us about the economy and political process of the town.
Narrator has good voice and your able to distinguish between characters.
