The first trilogy is good... ursidae Send a noteboard - 09/09/2009 07:16:58 PM
I really liked particularly the first and third books.
However, the first two "Sunrise Lands" books I found slightly boring at times. The story should have been compressed I think.
But I think the story is still interesting and will read the last two books in the series.

I also recommend his SciFi works "The Sky People" and "In the Courts of the Crimson Kings".

I was introduced to S.M. Stirling's trilogy "Dies the Fire" by a friend at Wotmania. I really liked it and moved on to "The Sunrise Lands" the four book series set later in the same "emberverse" world.

*"Dies the Fire" chronicles the struggle of two groups who try to survive "The Change", a sudden worldwide event that alters physical laws so that electricity, gunpowder and most other forms of high-energy-density technology no longer work. As a result, modern civilization comes crashing down.
"The Sunrise Lands" is based around a quest by the sons and daughters of the main characters from the first trilogy, to travel across the face of a changed America all the way to Nantucket.

You know what? I really, really suck at book reviews and such so I'm not going to do one.

I was just wondering if anyone else has read and enjoyed these books.




*I admit to copy and pasting the above because as I said, also above, I suck at book reviews.
