Both were very well written and I enjoyed them thoroughly. I do agree with the Wiccan material as well, it was a little hard to get past at first but I began to enjoy the McKenzie portion of the story over the Bearkillers. I plan to read the rest of the Embervese series and I hope it is as interesting as the first two books.

It really becomes part of the atmosphere and story, though, by the time you get into _The Protector's War_. You expect it, you know it's there, and it's part of the way things are in this new world. I've got the next two books in the Emberverse series on my Amazon Wish List, so hopefully I'll be able to nab those sometime soon.

I now plan to read the read of the series. I had read Sterlings "Marching Through Georgia" several years ago and it still remains in my personal library to this day. I actually compare the Emberverse series somewhat to the Camulod Chronicles by Jack Whyte, and I see that we are heading to some what of a retelling of the Arthurian Legend (maybe). Some times it was difficult to get past the Wiccan material, however, I can understand how people would grasp at a belief system to help them cope with their circumstances. It truely makes one wonder just how accurate Sterling's assessment is. Very Well Written! I just finished “Dies the Fire” and enjoyed it. I now plan to read the read of the series.
