Arkanost has Seven Exalted Orders. No more, no less. When a magus goes renegade in a far-off province, the Mage Lords demand that something be done.

Ryamon is bitter and frustrated. He longs to be a Fire magus; as a Stone magus, he's miserable. If he can bring the rogue back, he has a chance - his last chance - to fulfill his dream.

It's a great plan - until he actually meets Valdira.

I completely agree with Bruce (3 star reviewer), but I suppose I am little more forgiving in my ratings.
Small number of reviews sometimes stop people from buying so decided to add my own.

Nicely written with some good characters. Little simplistic compared to more grander fantasy. Maybe because its about low ranking people and not 'movers and shakers' of that world.
It reads like a first book in the series with a promise of bigger things to come. I went to buy a book two... Uhm, it's a standalone. I sincerely hope that author doesn't miss the opportunity - groundwork is done, foundation for the series laid. 'What ifs' are there, 'now what' is missing.

Don't really love how it ended and that kind of spoils things for me. One of our protagonists is a really weak character and the fact that this book was written by a woman bleeds through pretty strongly.

Despite the author almost driving me away with her own review i bought the book. So what did i think? I liked it. I thought it was well written with a well described and thought out world. The magic is fairly simple but interesting enough. I only had a few problems with the book and one doesnt have to do with content exactly.

The first and biggest is Ryamon, or more specifically how he acts around Valdira. I found myself cringing at times and found the other characters in the book far more interesting, though it did get better over time. Some people im sure wont have a problem with it but again.. ><

The second problem i had, and it did not affect the reviews rating, is that it is a single book. As i stated above i lkiked the world, i thought it was interesting. The story overall was as well with some good characters thrown in. Basically i think this could have been something better if made into a series, even just one more book. There are so many possibilities with the 7 orders, how they act together and other nations that it seems a waste to have only one book.

All in all i found it worth the $3 i spent.

5.0 out of 5 stars A truly interesting exploration of power
Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2012

Deby Fredericks has created a very intriguing exploration of the idea of power in "Seven Exalted Orders."

There are two Kingdoms, Arkanost and Costera. In Arkanost, the mages have restricted the form of their power. The Seven Orders are there to ensure a system of checks and balances, ensuring that mages can't get too much power, and ensuring that no one order can take political control of the kingdom. In Costera, a mage is allowed to seize land and control their own serfs to their hearts' content.

Of course, the concept of power is contrasted delicately with the concept of freedom. In Arkanost, mages aren't free to do as they wish; in Costera, the same is true of commoners.

The characters Deby Fredericks places into this world try desperately to exist in a world where power and freedom are precariously balanced. Each character has their own motives, and the desire for power or freedom changes from character to character.

I found this novel to be almost completely engrossing. There's one change of a character's opinions that occurs very suddenly, but other than that I lost myself in the world of Ms. Frederick's characters. This has made for a rather droopy-eyed day at work, but it was worth it.

Fredericks has created an intricate, richly imagined new world. Her characters are complicated and her magical Orders compelling. Not a light read, but one that will leave fantasy lovers well satisfied.
