About this ebook

S. M. Stirling presents the stunning and epic conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Change series, now in paperback. Many years ago, when advanced technology failed and humanity found itself in a turbulent, postapocalyptic world, extraordinary men and women birthed a new society from the ashes.

Two generations after the Change, Crown Princess Órlaith struggles to preserve the hard-won peace her father brought to Montival—the former western North America. But the Change opened many doors, and through them Powers strong and strange and terrible came, to walk once more among humankind.

With her fire-forged friend and ally, Japanese Empress Reiko, Órlaith must take up her sword to stop the spread of the mad malignancy behind the Yellow Raja, who has imprisoned her brother Prince John. And from the emerging superpower of Mongolia, the Sky-Blue Wolves of the High Steppe ride once more beneath the banner of Genghis Khan—the thunder of their hooves resounding across a world in turmoil.

Decent read, but short - IMO, it's not really a novel, at a mere 341 pages, it's more like an extended short story (and expensive at $10 or so for something that short). It did wrap up the current saga, but definitely dropped a few hints of a new series with the next generation of children. I will say that a quarter if not a third of the book is spent on details of what people are wearing (which we've already had EXHAUSTIVE details about in all of the previous books) and what they are eating (was it really necessary to take up almost two pages describing the food at a feast?). Instead of fleshing out details of the story (there are huge time jumps in this book), it seems like he just decided to skim over most of the action and finish the book - probably a contractual thing. Almost like he was sick of telling this story and just wanted to be done with it so he didn't really take the time on the plots that he opened in this book. Worth the read to close out the story, but not his best work.
