I simply will end the series with this book. It reads like a history with bland and boring characters. They are all the same. Half the book seams to be restating the characters history. Stirling has created an interesting universe that he should just let go instead of flogging it to death.

A very good book although I feel the author is running out of subject matter and just spends his time writing endless paragraphs of description. I do think he should stop with this one and pursue some fresh topic. I really enjoyed the first book of this series!

I can only hope for more out of SM Stirling in this series. You would think this many books would satisfy the addiction, but no; more is necessary! The characters are well developed and the story line is great. Amazing!!

Hey thanks for spoiling the book in you review man. What kind of person. gives away the story like that for all too read? A very selfish person, that's who. I see no reason to purchase and read this book now.

This has been one of the best series I've ever had the joy of reading. I have to say I'm sad to see it end.

The middle of the book is a bit rushed, but the beginning and the end are perfectly paced. Unlike a lot of other E-books, this is well edited, and proofread. The characters and there actions make sense, and are well thought out. Though to throw away the big baddy of almost 4 books felt like a bit of a cheat, but in the end made sense. I look forward to the next generation of Mountvalins, to carry on the legacy of the past two generations.
