After over a decade and spanning 15 books, the final book of the Change is here. The Emberverse Series created by S. M. Stirling is the longest series I have ever committed to and there is a good reason. The characters, locations and events were described in such a vivid manner. Rather than create a fantasy world in a different realm, we are presented with our own world, but changed to include fantasy elements. Without giving too much away, do yourself a favour and give the first book a read (Dies the Fire.)
The Sky-Blue Wolves is the last book in the series. It takes place nearly fifty after the original book. Except for one gap, all books in the series continue one after another. For the first time, we get to see what is happening in Eurasia in more detail. Previous books have mainly focused on North America, with some time in Europe and Australia. It is hard to talk in detail about what is happening in this book, as I would not want to spoil previous books. But, what I can say is that the story was gripping right to the end. The only negative I can say is that sadly this is the end of the series. We are given a glimpse of what may happen afterward, but nothing is guaranteed.
