Summary

It's Change Year 25, a generation after high-energy technology died in a catastrophe most of the human race didn't survive. The children born after the Change are now starting to take center stage - and Whoever or Whatever was behind the Change itself may be taking a hand in their rivalries. An expedition has travelled to Nantucked across a strange and hostile continent to find some answers.

mostly Stuff happens book

Well written but this is just the prelude to the war so its mostly a " stuff happens" book. There is a big chunks about Mary llu's downfall but it is a book that if skipped to the next one you won't have missed much

Excellent providing you have patience

First this book is excellent especially for those who have been following the series. However it is slow only covering a few months instead of the typical year of the previous books. Also this book isn't the physical world building of the previous journey books concentrating on the spiritual world building forcing the reader to understand that this is a world different from pre change or post change this is now a post sword world. There is a back story element which is a key focus within the book leaving previous main characters to fall into the background and bringing other background characters into the fore, which will aid in to bring in a wider character base into future books.
