Summary: A Good follow up
Review: I like the Recluce series so far and this is an other good adition. Also good that the series is ended in every book and that he writes fast without lowering the standard of the serie

Summary: Very good read. See life from the other side.
Review: In contrast to the other Recluce novels, in "The White Order" we get to see the action from the side of the Chaos Wizards. He portrays them in a good light, with all the justifications for their point of view. And I think I like the Chaos Wizards better, myself. This roughly coincides with one of his earlier better works "The Magic Engineer", and shows events from the other side. Buy this now! It's very good.

Summary: Good, but it left me hanging...
Review: OK, so who exactly, killed Cerryl's parents and more importantly, who slagged his Aunt and Uncle while they were out sheepherding on some remote, mis-begotten moor? And oh, by the way, who really sent those two guys down in the sewer to kill Cerryl?I will presume that Modesitt will answer these qustions in the next book but I've got an uneasy feeling that just possibly, he won't. The book is just not that tightly constructed. After all, he kind of left the Magic Engineer dangling, didn't he? If there is a sequel, he's got some serious plot devices to figure out. One, we already know how Jeslik(sp?) gets his bottom fricaseed (unless my memory fails me). Two, we know that Fairhaven gets nuked by Justen. So where does the Cerryl line go? But all in all, an enjoyable book. And I love those craftsman/shop details! Gimme more! END

Summary: Does chaos really = evil?
Review: This book was great! Before I read this, I used to think all white wizards were evil and any black healer that stayed with them was an idiot. But Cerryl and Leyladin proved me totally wrong. The White Order is an insightful look into the training of the white wizards, their tests and their personalities. Before, most of the white wizards you met were totally unlikeable and just pure evil. This though, just goes to show that even those considered evil have their motives. Besides Cerryl, many of the other characters got a lot more depth. After reading this I got more of an insight into Jeslek, Anya, Fidel, all your supposed 'evil' characters. Now, even though I don't like them, I understand them much better. And so the world of Recluce expands. I will never look at white wizards the same way.

Summary: The White Order
Review: This book was great. I loved the emphasis on the White side of the story. It makes you think that the 'bad guys' are not all bad. It let you understand both sides to the story and more fully enjoy the series.

Summary: Learning the hard lesson of social order
Review: This novel explains the need for balance and training for white mages--not covered in previous volumes. It is interesting that future events are scryed by chaos wizards, including "mad wizards" and "when Recluse is divided"(Death of Chaos). I would sympathize more with Cerryl but for his non-compassion for alleged killers and thieves. Instead of avoiding them he kills them. A pretty hard lesson in social order/justice. I look forward to a sequel showing Cerryl's rise to power and hope to see a meeting with Dorrin who "died comparatively young and in obscurity".

Summary: The White Order
Review: When I first picked up this book and started reading it I wasnt sure what to think., Ive read the whole series at least 3 times now and Expect ill read it a fourth. A 10 is not a true rating for this book from me because i think its a 20, Modesitt has given a whole new twist to the world hes created and i loved playing devils advocate with him..fact is the whites are cool, in a world of chaos magic there can be no wuss'. you either got it or you die, and in the world of politics on Candor, like reality, its good to be the king. All I can say to Modesitt is dont let it end here dude. I can reread the series over and over, but its always a new Thrill seeing a book on the store shelves youve written that ive never read, because I know ill be losing sleep trying to get just one more page read before i start seeing double..Why cant our world be half as cool as his .. thanx to the StoryTeller

Summary: Finally a stroy from the other side of the coin
Review: While this wasn't really the most exciting book of the series, it was still one of the best. Mainly because of the alternative perspective that it gives the reader about Whites. This book chronicles the rise of Cerryl, who one day becomes the leader of the Whites in their fight against Recluce. This book makes it clear that all Whites aren't evil and that the school of white mages actually teaches and believes that it does more good for Candar than bad, and even the bad is only a necessary action for the future good of the people.
This book is very well written (as are all of Modesitt's books) and the characters are great. The story line is cool, with plenty of action as well as lots of intrigue within the order of the Whites (mainly counter play between Sterol and Jeslek). This book is definitely a valuable addition to the saga of Recluce. Modesitt continues to fill in the missing blanks of his multi-generational story.
