Fofo’s #CBR4 Review #06: Imager’s Intrigue by L.E. Modesitt Jr.
Target: L.E. Modesitt, Jr.’s Imager’s Intrigue (Imager Portfolio #3)
Profile: Fantasy, Political/Spy Fiction
If this month were to have a theme, it would go something like, “Like a *blank* novel except…” Pirate Sun was a sci-fi novel with a high seas flair and Imager’s Intrigue reads like a blend of fantasy and the more sedentary Robert Ludlum books. Fantasy novels tend to get automatically tagged with the labels ‘adventure’ or ‘quest.’ The vast majority of fantasy literature falls into these sub-genres, but Modesitt has created a different sort of playground for his magic user. Rhennthyl, Rhenn for short, is much more like a CIA operative than an epic sorcerer and the world of Terahnar is much closer to our own than to Middle Earth.
