Stirling's skill as a world builder is still as sharp as ever. --Amazing Stories Extremely entertaining reading. Stirling writes clear dialogue, frank sensuous scenes, very effective humorous moments, and utterly hypnotic prolonged action-sequences. Fans of the series will find a great deal to enjoy here. --Open Letters Monthly Stirling's books have a structural similarity to many of Harry Turtledove's best sagas, and even, I'd say, the writing of James Michener...This is a unique series, an unusually complex world, and one well worth exploring. --Bookworm Blues -Occasionally a book comes along that makes you stop and put down anything else you are working on so you can read it.
