There are some weaknesses in Turtledove's writing style as well. He has the same flaw as Tolkien- weak female characters. Perhaps it is a result of his gender, but I began to realize that the only involved females he imagined were those of an alien race, or those who were raised by an alien race- thus not truly human females. He seems to skip over getting in the minds of women, as he does so well with men, which results in somewhat half of the story being told.
The other major flaw is Turtledove's treatment of Christianity. It is sad that he merely apes this inaccuracy which is so typical of the science fiction genre. In the future, if religion exists at all, it is certainly not the Christian religion- or if so, a pale imitation of it. This flaw is most prevalent in this latest work of the series, where Turtledove speaks of the Muslims and Jews to a great extent, and how they follow what the believe, but the Christians are not willing to die for their beliefs, nor commit to worshipping one God. This is a grave departure from historical (or present) reality, where over half of the Christians in the world live in the 2/3rds world, the largest religion in the world is Christianity, and more have died for their Christian faith in the 20th century than the previous 19 combined.
Despite these two blemishes, it is a very enjoyable work. If one has read through the entire series till now, you definitely want to complete it. If not, you want to read the other books before coming to this one. Though the book is understandable on it's own, it doesn't make as much sense by itself. It is a fitting near-ending (2nd to the last), where most storylines are resolved, but the biggest and largest only hinted at till the end of the book, to be finally resolved later in the 21st century.
