Endgames

Imager Portfolio Series, Book 12

By: L. E. Modesitt Jr.

Narrated by: William Dufris

Endgames is the 12th novel in L. E. Modesitt, Jr.'s New York Times best-selling epic fantasy series the Imager Portfolio, and the third book in the story arc that began with Treachery's Tools and Assassin's Price.

Solidar is in chaos.

Charyn, the young and untested ruler of Solidar, has survived assassination, and he struggles to gain control of a realm in the grip of social upheaval, war, and rioting. Solidar cannot be allowed to slide into social and political turmoil that will leave the High Holders with their ancient power and privilege, and the common people with nothing.

But the stakes are even higher than he realizes.

As enjoyable as all of Modesitt’s works

Love the history that continues through the Imager series and the Recluse series. His world creation is exceptional and his characters are superbly developed. Full of action, suspense and a well-developed storyline. Love it.

Great Ending to Winderful Series

Finaly got to the end of this wonderful series. I thought I would be bothered by the shift in characters to a non imager but it was a good change and still an interesting story. While the ending was predictable becuase this is in the middle of the timeline the journey was well worth it.

Starts slow with a Sad ending

I've read all of the Imigur and Recluse books and love anything L.E. Modesitt jr writes. The title before this was very slow to me and this one grabs you from the start. however, I found myself yelling at the author more then I have at any other book in the series so far. Lot's of repetition and having the main character not do things he would have done in a real life situation was frustrating.
***Spoilers Ahead! ***
Like ask the Imigers to image walls to demonstrate the power of the Caligum. Or to have multiple intrests with his possible love interests. Those are things I thought would happen. Instead you have the first and really only love intrest work out for him and no bad decisions on his part. Also in real life he would have relized growing up and even as soon as his father died that his brother would have been up to something.
Final Verdict
The thing that keeps this book as worth reading is the amazing world the auther creates and the joy and sadness he can make you feel towards characters. This will be a re read in the years to come and I am always happy to read his books again.

Best of all the books in the imager series.

I hadn’t thought about all the conflicting problems that a government must face The solutions given were basic but thoughtful.

Wish there was a sequel

A very good book and a very good series overall. I wish like some of his other titles he would go back And do something from the first few novels As a sort of epilogue. don't know if the author's still alive or not but at the same point I do think it would be fitting at the very least. solid book overall though. and would highly recommend.
