Summary

L. E. Modesitt, Jr., continues his best-selling Saga of Recluce with his 20th book in the long-running series. Beltur began his journey in The Mongrel Mage and continues with Outcasts of Order, the next book of his story arc in the Saga of Recluce.

Beltur, an Order mage, discovers he possesses frightening powers not seen for hundreds of years. With his new abilities, he survives the war in Elparta and saves the lives of all. However, victory comes with a price. His fellow mages now see him as a threat to be destroyed, and the local merchants want to exploit his power.

There's only one way he can remain free and survive - he's going to have to run.

Not enough story, a bridging book

There is more description of the food, furniture and uniforms of the characters than meaningful action or story progression.

Only worth reading for a die-hard fan.

More of the same, but not in a good way

To be clear, I think I have read, and re-read, all of Modesitt's. I'm a fan but this book seems to reflect the worst of his writing habits. Heaps of anxious introspection without enough balancing action to make it worthwhile. Don’t read if you are not a fan, nor if you have not read the proceeding book. Even if you have read the last book, I would just wait for the next one, which is bound to be along soon.
