The Saga of Recluce chronicles the history of this world with world-building detail and an ingenious and disciplined magic system. L. E. Modesitt Jr. returns to his longest and best-selling fantasy series with volume 19, The Mongrel Mage, which marks the beginning of a new story arc.
In the world of Recluce, powerful mages can wield two kinds of magic - the white of Chaos or the black of Order. Beltur, however, has talents no one dreamed of, talents not seen in hundreds of years that blend both magics.
On the run from a power-hungry white mage, Beltur is taken in by Order mages who set him on the path to discover and hone his own unique gifts and in the process find a home.
However, when the white mage he fled attempts to invade his new home, Beltur must hope his newfound power will be enough to save them all.

Well crafted narrative

Maybe if the volume was louder in the quiet scenes and quieter during the loud scenes... especially in some of the previous audiobooks where he does the baby cries... So annoying.
Another good one

Jars strongly with recluse series thus far

Two mages in the book (who are main supporting characters) are LGBTQ+ in a long-term relationship (Modesitt would have called it "consorting" in the Recluce terminology), and at least one reviewer complained that there should have been some sort of trigger warning for this.
That's patently ridiculous for several reasons
1 -- Modesitt has often use utilized LGBTQ+ characters in strong supporting roles, so this should not come as a surprise to anybody who reads his work
2 -- Modesitt novels, when it comes to romance and sex, are the precise opposite of graphic. They are mild to the point that they wouldn't even hit Regency Romance standards. In this book the two men live together, hug once or twice, and never so much as kiss on stage. There is one -- exactly one -- reference to them going upstairs together in midafternoon "for a nap," to which two of their friends say, "If they want to call it that, that's fine." And that's it.
The only way you could need a trigger warning for this is you're just completely opposed to the existence of LGBTQ+ people in both literature and real life.
Ignore reviews wanting LGBTQ+ "trigger" warnings
