Resumen del Editor

The Saga of Recluce chronicles the history of this world with world-building detail and an ingenious and disciplined magic system. L. E. Modesitt Jr. returns to his longest and best-selling fantasy series with volume 19, The Mongrel Mage, which marks the beginning of a new story arc.

In the world of Recluce, powerful mages can wield two kinds of magic - the white of Chaos or the black of Order. Beltur, however, has talents no one dreamed of, talents not seen in hundreds of years that blend both magics.

On the run from a power-hungry white mage, Beltur is taken in by Order mages who set him on the path to discover and hone his own unique gifts and in the process find a home.

However, when the white mage he fled attempts to invade his new home, Beltur must hope his newfound power will be enough to save them all.

Well crafted narrative

Excellent book all around. Great as a standalone or if you are reading the Saga. Kirby Hayborne puts on another masterpiece of narration.

Vintage Modesitt -- loved it

If you love Modesitt for the long, winding stroll with interesting characters and a hero that you can like - you will love this latest installment.

Another good one

Great performance as usual. However I think it would be an improvement if somebody would go back through and apply volume leveling to this book and all of the others. Some of the quiet scenes require you to turn the volume up to hear the words, then there's shouting!!

Maybe if the volume was louder in the quiet scenes and quieter during the loud scenes... especially in some of the previous audiobooks where he does the baby cries... So annoying.

Good book.

I liked the book butit felt a little unfinished. other than that perfect as always. I like the fact that I can read or listen to any of his stories without having had to read every book before and yet they all fit together.

great story

made me cry. great story line. I love l.e.modesitt stories. they seem like they are so real in feelings.

Awesome book

Back to the Basics with this one. Learning to control power. Adventure with realism.

Remains one of my favorite authors and rarely disappoints

Re

Nice. Novel audio enjoyed it very much. Can’t wait to recommend it to my family

Jars strongly with recluse series thus far

The general plot is reminiscent of the rest of the series with the exception of the author introducing a homosexual couple in this book. While this may appeal to some listeners, I think it at least fair that this review point this out for those listeners to whom it doesn’t appeal. I personally felt it departed from the entire series.

Superb as always

L. E. Modesitt is the best. Already have the next book qued up to listen to.

Another new and great story line

Once again Modesitt starts us on another journey that is riveting and enjoyable. It does slow down at times, but overall, it keeps the listener entertained and looking forward to the continuation of the story.
