The "Emberverse" sounds great. Just ordered the first book. Has anybody read it?
- jaegerpicker 11y agoYes and I deeply enjoy it. That said it works best if you just accept that this is the story that the Author wants to tell and that there might be a few or more than a few logical conclusions that you disagree with. A lot of the decisions he makes seem over the top at first blush but on closer inspection the make a ton of sense.
- d_theorist 11y agoThanks. I am looking forward to it. However, after ordering the book I realised that the series is a follow-on from his previous 'Nantucket series', which also sounds fantastic. So I have also ordered the first book in that series. I have a terrible and debilitating disease that prevents me from reading things out of order.
- dragonwriter 11y agoIts not a follow-on in the sense of a sequel, its only a follow-on in that there is a nexus between the premises of the two series and the Emberverse series was written later.
- d_theorist 11y agoYes; thanks. I gathered that. My disease doesn't distinguish unfortunately. It's some weird form of OCD.
- ArkyBeagle 11y agoYes; it's very well crafted. Marvelous characters and excellent storytelling. It's as if it were fantasy ( or at least counterfactual fiction) written by a military historian. There are a couple of small logical holes in the premises ( much less than the usual ) and the author steps around them nimbly. He may even make fun of some of them.
