Synopsis

S. M. Stirling presents the stunning and epic conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Change series. 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.

Would be ok if in the middle of the series; disappointing as an ending for it. M. Stirling decided that 20 years was enough, and the Change series he started decades ago should be ending. Which is fine. The method of ending it, however, leaves to be desired. The timing and plot progression remain slo......more

Goodreads review by Jack on December 06, 2018

I loved the first series. It kept me up until 3am on work nights. I loved it so much that I kept coming back long after I knew I should quit. Even so I didn't bother reading 'The Sea Peoples', because I was pretty sure I would get everything I needed to know in recaps in this book. I was right. If I......more

A somewhat rushed but overall satisfying end to the Change series. I just never really warmed up to the characters in the third set of novels. I still heartily recommend the first two sets, though.......more

Goodreads review by Jennifer on November 22, 2018

Since I have enjoyed this series, and this is the last book in it, I am sad. I was disappointed in the huge build up to what turned out to be not much of a battle; once the main characters realized that they could not take the North Korean fortress by military power, they came to a very anti-climati......more
