L.E. Modesitt's bestselling fantasy novels set in the world of Recluce are among the most popular in contemporary fantasy. Rich in detail, Modesitt's Recluce books are a feast of wonderous marvels. Booklist notes, "Modesitt's elaborate and intelligent working out of a system of magic and a system of technology parallel to it is becoming more the lifeblood of the Recluce books with every new volume. . . his saga continues to gain in popularity."

The White Order is the story of Cerryl, a boy orphaned when the powerful white mages killed his father to protect their control of the world's magic. Cerryl, raised by his aunt and uncle, is a curious boy, attracted to mirrors and books, though he is unable to read. When he is old enough, Cerryl is apprenticed to the local miller. The miller's daughter teaches Cerryl to read his father's books, and it seems that the talent for magic has been passed from father to son. When Cerryl witnesses a white mage destroy a renegade magician, the miller realizes the boy will not be safe there, so Cerryl must be sent to the city of Fairhaven to find his destiny.

Thus Modesitt takes one of the most enduring and mythic themes in fantasy and makes it his own. The White Order is a powerful new addition to the Recluce saga, guaranteed to add many new readers to Modesitt's devoted following.

The White Order is the eighth book in the saga of Recluce.

Assessment Out Of Books The White Order (The Saga of Recluce #8)

This book in the Recluce series is different than some of the others. It takes us into Cherryl's mind where he tries to figure things out, keeps quiet, asks many questions, and starts to talk about how Chaos and Order are intertwined. It was different from the other books in that he is not an engineer. L.E. Modessitt Jr. keeps you reading.

After going along so long in this series, it's a really nice and interesting change of pace to suddenly see the world through the perspective of a white wizard, and to actually see that there's a lot more going on beneath the surface of them than has been represented thus far in the series. It was a good and much needed change of pace.

Borrowed from a friend and just couldn't bear to finish it after slogging through a small chunk. Its just too densely packed and boring. And because it is so bloody huge it just kept looming and making me hate it.I don't think I'm the correct audience for this book.

The Recluse universe is based on an Order/Chaos balance. Some people have abilities to use these forces, generally one or the other, although there are a few Grays. Order is Black, Chaos is White. Order wielders tend to be healers & builders, Chaos users tend to destruction.This is the 8th book written in the series & while Modesitt recommends the books be read in the order he wrote them, I'll agree only for the first read. On a re-read, I preferred them in chronological order. In that



Reread, third time I think. Originally I didn't want to read anything about the "evil" white wizards, but Cerryl totally drew me in. He is not like some of the magi, but walks a thin line throughout his life.

This takes place almost 300 years after the founding of Recluce, as told in The Towers of the Sunset (2P, 8C) & switches to following one of the white wizards of Fairhaven, the bad guys of the previous book chronologically. It overlaps somewhat with the next book chronologically toward the end, The Magic Engineer (3P, 10C), which flips back to the Recluce point of view. The changing points of view, each demonizing the other, really brings home Modesitt's theme of balance & of how little
