keeps the saga alive

I enjoyed it, like visiting with an old friend. Interesting turns. Great performance. On it goes.

Slow

Entire book is preparing for a trip. Hopefully the next book is more exciting. I liked the other boos so far.

Excellent start for a continuing saga

This was so well written that it does not require you to have read any of the others. This is a major problem with most books that are part of a large saga. Reviews are always bias in regards to the view of the critic who pens them. NEVER pass on a book due to a bad review. This is one of those books that I am glad I ignored the review. Go to a library and read it. I did and after the second chapter purchased the audio book. Nariated well and from the same vocie artist. That particular consistency is very much appreciated.

Another home run by S M Stirling.

Another fantastic addition to the Emberverse series. It is great to see the Grand children of the original heroes carry the torch that thir parents and grandparents started. S M is able to create a world and tale within it that allows the reader to forget their troubles and join the quest with the companions. I am excited for the next chapter of these youngsters tale.

Thrilling new chapter

This looks to be the beginning of an exciting new arc in Sterling's epic tale.
