- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A good read. I remember telling my brother to wait a second, I had twenty pages to go and he still needed to kill three white wizards. And eat some bread and cheese and have a bad headache. lol. A good read.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a typical Recluse novel, in a way, since it features an 'amateur' law wizard defending himself against chaos as he learns his powers. However, the subject has a fairly unique set of wizard powers.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is L. E. Modesitt, Jr.'s thirteenth book in the world of Recluce, and I would think it a better book if it didn't bear so much resemblance to the previous twelve.Starting with the not-quite-but-nearly-bad-enough-to-make-you-cringe cover art by Darrel K Sweet, Ordermaster touches very familiar bases. Our hero, Kharl the cooper is reluctantly swept up into a political power struggle involving the forces of magical chaos that so frequently ruin a man's attempt to live in peace in his workshop making obscure pieces of craftwork. He quickly overcomes his first foe, but is then swept off to greater battles further from home. Etc. Etc.But Kharl is a likeable enough fellow. Although , like most of Modesitt's male characters, he has an irritating habit of reading a reading a random passage from his book, pausing, frowning, pausing again, then nodding slowly, he does a fair job of keeping the reader's attention whilst plodding down his well trodden path. There's very little to dislike in this book, but readers new to the series would be best starting either with 'The Magic of Recluce', of 'The Towers of the Sunset'.
