Just finished "The Magic Engineer", the third book in the "Recluse" fantasy series by L.E. Modessit.
This series "jumps around" in time. The first book in the series, "The Magic of Recluse" is set in "modern day" Recluse. In the second book, "The Towers of the Sunset" we had the story of the founding of Recluse. In this third book, we jump forward 300 years from the founding and learn the story of the creation of the order-based "black ships" which made Recluse so powerful in the initial story.
Extremely enjoyable. I thoroughly recommend this series to anyone who enjoys a fantasy series built on a strong foundation of "world building". On to the next book, "The Order War", next, but I'll read another Ngaio Marsh in between, I think.
