From Amazon.com

In this author's popular Recluce fantasies--beginning with The Magic of Recluce--the classic theme of youngsters growing to adult power and responsibility is repeatedly retold in terms of magic skill. Past books focused on the apparent good guys--"black" magicians who use order-magic (cooling, healing, strengthening) and constantly oppose the White Order of chaos wizards whose talent is fire and dissolution. Young hero Cerryl has a natural bent for chaos, and for him the Whites offer the only game in town. Painfully, he learns about balance: order-magic can be deviously used for destruction, chaos can cleanse and anyway requires order-control if it's not to destroy the user. This moves interestingly away from simplistic "black is good, white is bad" magical color-coding ... but although Cerryl is a decent, ethical white wizard, the Order remains unpleasantly tyrannical--for example, an instant life sentence of slave labor for the equivalent of expired license plates. The magic training is interesting if repetitive (apprentices practice firebolts by zapping blockages in the public sewers), but Modesitt's real story lies in waiting for Cerryl to become a full mage of the Order and perhaps confront its injustices in the massive sequel, Colors of Chaos. --David Langford, Amazon.co.uk --Ce texte provient de la Mass Market Paperback édition.


From Publishers Weekly

The prolific and popular fantasy author adds to his Recluce series (The Chaos Balance, etc.), with this entry tracing the rise of an orphan, Cerryl, to powerful magicianship. That's a venerable concept, but Modesitt keeps it fresh with crisp characters and a consistent, well-detailed setting. The magical system employed here features white chaos magic, somehow connected to the colors of light, and the magic of order, which is black and associated with cold iron. The background is medieval EuropeanAlargely preliterate, with guilds and apprenticeshipsAbut Modesitt uses historical details to create a vivid, realistic culture instead of a stereotyped fantasy world. Cerryl's apprenticeships in a wood mill and, later, to a scrivener lend depth to his ensuing, more magical, adventures. Like many fantasy heroes, Cerryl is virtuous but has unusual magical potential, leading to opportunities but also to problems, especially from jealous apprentices or mages of the White Order. The theme of power, including its uses and misuses, and its various forms, magical, political and sexual, runs throughout the book. As the novel widens its focus from Cerryl's education to his involvement with war, intrigue and assassination, it becomes more colorful but less original. Still, Modesitt provides the requisite adventure and wizardry, plus people and places that are as true as they are magical. Author tour.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Finally a stroy from the other side of the coin, Mai 9 2004
Par C. T. Hunter "chips_books" (Gainesville, FL United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The White Order: Recluse #8 (Mass Market Paperback)
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.

5.0étoiles sur 5 A wonderful book..., Avril 19 2002
This review is from: The White Order: Recluse #8 (Mass Market Paperback)
As I said in the title, it's a wonderful book. Modesitt has managed what seem to me to be some of the most developed characters I've encountered in Fanctasy literature (or in any other type, for that matter)...It's beautifully written...you should read this book and all the rest he's written. Or, at the very least, this one and the three after it (Colors of Chaos, Magi'i of Cyador, and Scion of Cyador). All are VERY (!!!) good books.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Does chaos really = evil?, Aoû 18 2000
Par "fireamber" (Garrattsville, NY USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: The White Order: Recluse #8 (Mass Market Paperback)
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.
