Awesome!!! Yeah going from Rhenn to Quaeryt is such a shock to the system about their murder tendencies lol. And I feel that about the unplanned reading hiatus!

If you like the imager portfolio, I’ve found that Modesitt’s Grand Illusion series is pretty similar (albeit with a different magic system), and I’ve enjoyed it a lot!!

In terms of other writers/series, I’m always a sucker for anything by Ursula K Le Guin (especially a wizard of earthsea). I’d also recommend the Murderbot series by Martha Wells, A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine, or the Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lycnh. I’m gonna cut myself off there before I list every book on my shelves hahaha

Last year, I read Isolate by L. E. Modesitt Jr, a gaslamp political fantasy about two security aides who protect a government councilor. This year (well, technically Christmas 2022 loll), I bought the sequel, Councilor – and I’m enjoying it so much that I had to draw some fanart for it! XDD

Here we have Councilor Obreduur in the middle (whom I imagine looks like Peter Cushing lmaoo), and his two security aides: the empath Avraal Ysella on the left, and Steffan Dekkard on the right. Steffan is an isolate, meaning he is invulnerable to empath attacks and senses.

Oh, and also, a very Happy New Year to y’all!! <333

Delighted by Modesitt canonizing the existence of Colorado in the Grand Illusion Universe

I am so proud of you for counting all of the explosions

(I am also excited to see your thoughts on Quaeryt in the next imager books 👀)

Rhenn just puts Dichartyn through so much

Me, side eyeing book 3: well the name of this blog had to come from somewhere 😊

Have your read the Lord Protector's Daughter or the Lady Protector's books? there are two trilogies attached as well, of which I've read one, and it was okay, but I really love that duology!

I just started the imagers portfolio, not even sure what the other series you mention is, but i know I love Modesitt so maybe I'll read it eventually.

Hello!!!!! I have not read those ones yet, but they’re on my to-read list!

Glad to hear you’re reading the imager portfolio!!! It’s one of my favorite series, and I love how the different time periods affect each other. The other series I mention a lot is the grand illusion. It’s a series that’s currently coming out (third book coming this august???) and it’s honestly pretty similar to the first three imager books except the magic system is totally different and it’s more politics heavy. Would recommend!

If I had a nickel for every time Modesitt killed off a mentor figure in a building explosion I’d have two nickels, which isn’t much but it’s weird that it’s happened twice

I apologize in advance for the person I will become on August 9th when Councilor comes out

For an unknown, adequately written series, The Imager Portfolio managed to present the single most realistic and powerful religion I’ve ever fucking seen in fiction, the in-text homilies given by the characters are actually relevant to real life and genuinely thought-provoking. I literally get emotional thinking about how well done this series’ worldbuilding was. This motherfucker is on Orson Scott Card’s level, the difference is just that no one knows this guy exists.

girl help i'm getting attached

[rhennslostboot]

Me: I love all the imager protagonists equally

Also me: I don’t care for Alastar

Shout out to Alyna for her impeccable women in STEM representation 😊
