Summary: 3 Stars
By Heresies Distressed
This is the third installment of the 'Safehold' saga by David Weber. I would never have slugged my way through it except that I had waded through the first two books and was hoping to get to the end. I was dismayed to discover that the third installment is not the last. The story still fails to reach a conclusion and will live on for yet another volume.
My biggest complaint about this book, as well as the second installment of this series, is that the main literary device used by Mr. Weber to move the story laboriously along is to force the reader to sit through an endless series of meetings. We sit in on counsel meetings of church leaders, conspirators in bars, war counsels, kings and advisors, unimportant characters who briefly appear and add nothing to the plot. Sprinkle in here and there an occasional battle.
I really thought the initial volume was the best. I liked the concept but have been disappointed as the series drags on. I recommend it as bedtime reading for insomneacs.
