    About this audiobook

    The cooper Kharl has no sooner taken possession of the estate bestowed upon him by Lord Ghrant of Austra when he is summoned back to the capital. After a bloody campaign, in which Kharl discovers and is forced to use even more deadly order magery, civil order is restored and Ghrant's throne firmly secured. But Kharl is now a famous and feared public figure, the Lord's Mage, and his notoriety makes him uncomfortable.


    To his surprise, Kharl is soon called upon again by Lords Ghrant and Hagen. Back in his hometown of Brysta, he discovers that his old enemy Egen is engaged in a plot with the Hamorians to take the throne from his father and open Nordla to the enemy. Kharl has to find a solution, for the sake of both the land of his birth and his adopted new country.

      A 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.
    • 4/5
      This 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.
    • 3/5
      This 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'.
