Summary
The sequel to The New York Times best-selling Princeps follows magical hero Quaeryt as he leads history's first Imager fighting force into war. Given the rank of subcommander by his wife's brother, Lord Bhayar, the ruler of Telaryn, Quaeryt joins an invading army into the hostile land of Bovaria, in retaliation for Bovaria's attempted annexation of Telaryn. But Quaeryt has his own agenda in doing Bhayar's bidding: to legitimize Imagers in the hearts and minds of all men, by demonstrating their value as heroes as he leads his battalion into one costly battle after another.
Making matters worse, court intrigues pursue Quaeryt even to the front lines of the conflict, as the Imager's enemies continue to plot against him.

A great listen
A great book. A brilliant narrative. He created a atmospheric world with a strong set of rules, and relgion in his imager portfolio series. With it's own time units day names and numbers. This book is set in a time of war. Responding to an invasion attempt in the previous book. Ower main carractors lead a counter invasion in response. To end the threat of the Rex.

Slow but ok
It's an enjoyable listen, but sadly not to the standard of his usual work, a lot of the time I spent hoping something would happen and when we finally get to a climactic battle it's over in a few pages leaving you very disappointed. I feel like this was a novel to set the stage for what's to come, but falls flat on its own merits, hopefully the pay off will come with the next book

Not to the standard of Princeps unfortunately.
Likely falls somewhere closer to 3.5 however rounding up to four stars would have a misleading impression IMO. Vaelora's involvement was similar to that in Scholar which was disappointing. The interaction between her and Quaeryt previously seen in Princeps was absent, its role in bringing some diversity to the plot removed. It was symptomatic of a more constrained nature to the story and carried a sense one hopes that Imager's Battalion was building to something more dynamic in Antiagon Fire. The internal politics of the military and intrigue centred around Quaeryt was too one-way, in the past our warrior imager would at least have done some digging [perhaps explored other aspects to his abilities at the same time]. And as for the ending, well it was a bit abrupt, i'd ditch a few chapters in the middle in favour of making that less so. IB is a long march to battle with periodic interludes and skirmishes along the way, its importance to be felt when reading the next novel in the series i suspect.
