Kirby Heyborne
Young Lerris is dissatisfied with his life and trade, and yearns to find a place in the world better suited to his skills and temperament. But in Recluce a change in circumstances means taking one of two options: permanent exile from Recluce or braving the dangergeld, a complex, rule-laden wanderjahr in the lands beyond Recluce, with the aim of learning how the world works and what his place in it might be. Many do not survive. Lerris chooses the dangergeld.
When Lerris is sent into intensive training for his quest, it soon becomes clear that he has a natural talent for magic. And he will need magic in the lands beyond, where the power of the Chaos Wizards reigns unchecked. Though it goes against all of his instincts, Lerris must learn to use his powers in an orderly way before his wanderjahr, or fall prey to Chaos.

Would you try another book from L. E. Modesitt Jr. and/or Kirby Heyborne?
This book had a good story line, but I may have enjoyed it more by reading it.The author, for some reason, inserted sound effects into the script, therefore the reader tried to make the sounds.Really weird. You will hear the clopping of the horse, the swish of the reins, the splatter of the rain, etc. This was, to me, quite annoying. I could have skimmed over the sounds if I had been reading it.
Good story, but...

What did you like best about The Magic of Recluce? What did you like least?
The story line was new and interesting. The constant Swish, whirr POP! Slam! were off putting and interfered with the flow of the story. They were too loud, and just seemed dumb. Just say there was a loud Slam as the door swung shut, lose the sound effects.What other book might you compare The Magic of Recluce to and why?
The endover novels. Because I can't think of any other I have read that are similar.Which character – as performed by Kirby Heyborne – was your favorite?
There weren't any.If this book were a movie would you go see it?
NopeGet rid of the sound effects.

The narrator is fantastic and has to deal with the oddities of sounds in the book. While the narrating of wind blowing, boots clicking, and horses whinnying can distract from the story I thought it was done well.
Overall a great listen.
Good story, good narration

I'm most of the way through the book now, and the read onomatopeias are driving me nuts. I pray that in later books, either Modesitt used fewer of these, or the narrator is provided with sound effects to replace his own attempts at making these sounds.
Onomatopeias drive me crazy
