I certainly liked this better than the Recluce book that I read. The character was more consistent and the plot far less repetitive.
Imagers make things using their minds and are deeply suspect - although highly valued - in their society. In some countries in their world, they are considered criminals.
Our hero has forsaken the family wool import/export business and taken up an apprenticeship as a painter of portraits (a different guild from painters of landscapes). When his master is killed, he is out of a job and too old to start over, but some incidents have led him to suspect that he may have the gift necessary to be an imager. Of course, he does - and advances rapidly, in spite of repeated assassination attempts.
I really hope that further books in the series will continue to feature the same character.
