L.E. Modesitt Jr.'s The Magic of Recluce begins his best-selling fantasy series the Saga of Recluce, which is one of the most popular in contemporary epic fantasy.

Young Lerris yearns to find a place in the world better suited to his skills and temperament. In Recluce, this means taking one of two options: permanent exile from Recluce or the dangergeld, a complex, rule-laden wanderjahr in the lands beyond. Many do not survive.

Lerris chooses dangergeld.

Lerris will need magic in the lands beyond, where the power of the Chaos Wizards reigns unchecked, and he must learn to use his powers in an orderly way before his wanderjahr, or fall prey to Chaos.

Love the graphic audio format. I made it much more visual in my mind's eye.

I felt this particular stories "lessons" learned by the protagonist, and the conspiracy of his relatives and recluse and their motives were unclear at best. additionally the ending felt somewhat rushed and as the facts were omitted for brevity.

Great Story and Performance

The story by itself is already really well told and written but the performance makes it come alive. I can't wait to listen to the rest of them and hope that they adapt the remainder of the series as well.

Great Story

This Author has a way of building this world and all the characters in it. I’m glad I gave this a chance! Graphic Audio Dramatized Adaptation is my favorite style. I love sound effects and different character voices!

DON'T READ IN PUBLISHED ORDER

I recommend looking up a recommend reading order. otherwise it is hard to understand

just perfect.

the voice actors are superb. they brought the characters to life. I love this book it's one of my favorites. keep up the good work

An classic revisted

I read this book when I was like 13 years old (give or take). Now listening to it in graphic audio while I work is a godsend. Thank you Graphic Audio and Audible for providing this format and making it part of my normal credit use.

Great series. Great voice actors - Simple as that.

A simple story that I love

While certainly not the most action packed adventure story I’ve listened to, I still loved this story! The main character does have some good character development to the point where I want to see where his story goes.
The setting is also fantastic as I could regularly visualize everything that the author was describing. The details are what made me enjoy this audiobook all the way through. I don’t feel compelled to listen to EVERY Recluse book, but I certainly will be returning!

I didn't enjoy it.

The first voice pronounced the authors name incorrectly. The name of the first city was mispronounced. Hunks of the book was left out to the point that it wasn't clear why he was doing things. He suddenly had powers that weren't explained how he got them. The stories of the other characters were left out. The book was left less complex and rich. I won't buy another book from this format. Did the book a disservice.
