I hate to say it, but 1637: THE TRANSYLVANIAN DECISION may be the last true Eric Flint we ever see. I buy these in eARC anyway, but I’d definitely be doing it now anyway. Every little bit helps, right?

I really enjoyed the first few the 163x books (I read up into the 1634s), but they got real formulaic after a while, and i haven’t been back. Have they shifted from that?
They are literally all over the place at this point, in terms of focus, style, and plot. I keep buying them and have learned a surprising amount of information on 17th Century Europe from them, if that helps. 🙂
Ah. So they *don’t* all have the one-or-two-or-three unlikely romantic pairings that are signaled pretty hard somewhere in the first half of the book and inevitably get together at the end after a series of challenges and/or misadventures that make it quite clear that they have the full force of authorial fiat behind them making sure that it all works out well in the end?
…Well, Flint had a certain literary style. 🙂
