About this listen

Rahl, a young apprentice scrivener on the island of Recluce, likes life to work out in his favor. And he has a bad attitude, too. To make sure things go his way, he uses a small amount of order magic at opportunistic moments - but his abilities are starting to get the attention of the Council magisters. So the Council sends him to the mage training school for testing, and through misuse of his powers, which are getting stronger all the time, Rahl gets himself banished to the continent and empire of Hamor.

As an exile in Hamor, working in the Ordermage Council's import and export business, Rahl's powers increase - and so does the amount of trouble he can get into.

Critic Reviews

"Modesitt renders the people and places of Recluce and Hamor somewhat humorlessly but with diligent attention to detail, treading the narrow line between exquisite world-building and overbearing verbosity." ---Publishers Weekly

While the story was good, less whining from the main character would have been nice.
I really enjoy seeing things from the other points of view, not just from Recluce' side.

The first in another mini-series, Natural Ordermage had a bizarre beginning. As usual, another young male starting out in his adult life. Without spoiling, this youngster had thought his life was heading in one direction, on his terms, and that well and truly did not happen.

The story was a bit long winded, and put me to sleep most sessions, but i perked back up for the final half dozen chapters. Hope the next instalment is a bit more well told.
