The Scourge of God

I read S.M. Stirling for the Worldswithoutend.com Apocalypse Now Challenge. This was a last-minute addition to my challenge because I realized Mr. Stirling was not well represented in the challenge. This would have been a true crime because no one writes the neomedieval post apoc novel like S.M. Stirling. His "Emberverse" series is a jaunty fest into a renaissance festival gone horribly wrong. The Scourge of God is the 5th novel in the series, or the 2nd novel in the Emberverse II depending on if you decide to split the series.

This novel follows the "changelings" the children of the adults alive during "The change." The novel slides firmly into the realm of fantasy. The mysticism hinted at in the previous series is fully developed by the 5th novel. I'm still enjoying the series and am glad I took the little break before I started this series up again.
