Book Reviews of By Schism Rent Asunder
Book Review: A good sequel
Summary: 5 Stars
Not a bad follow up to the first book, but a lot of stuff left hanging. As many have said (myself included), this series is an expansion on a theme from one of the books from the Dahak series. I am enjoying it because Weber has had the time to develop some of the things that I feel he glossed over very quickly in that book. While others may have found some of the book tedious, I have always enjoyed Weber's character development, so I liked that in this book. Also some of the revelations were very interesting. Anyway, I await the next book in the series, and I do not expect it to end at a trilogy.Book Review: One of the best David Weber yet!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a long time David Weber fan and this is perhaps the novel that I enjoyed the most. I love the characters. They all, both the good and the bad seem very real. One of the most interesting things is how some of the "bad" characters are transformed into "good". And those on the wrong side of the conflict are not really evil. There is plenty of action but the book is not just one big battle scene. Plenty of surprises as well. Also many passages that made you think. My only disappointment was that it ended rather suddenly (To be continued...).Book Review: Not as action packed as the first but...
Summary: 5 Stars
The second book in the series is more based on political intrigue rather than action (though there are some intense action pieces too). You can see that David Weber is building up for the next book which I can almost guarantee will be action packed. I wonder how many books are going to be in the series as there is a long way to go.
writing style is good as you can expect from David. Some times the names can get confusing trying to keep who's who in the political maneuvering.
I hope you enjoy this book as much as I have.
Book Review: Weber hasn't lost a step.
Summary: 5 Stars
Most of us would be given to think that after all the books that David Weber has written over the years, both alone and in concert with other writers, that he would have lost the edge a bit. The Safehold Series is proof positive that that is not the case. He has taken the best of his other novels, dusted them off, tossed out the trash, and made something that stands alone as a great work by itself. This book brings the reader in and takes them for a great ride. Weber is at the top of his game. Bravo. Keep them coming!Book Review: Weber always leaves me wanting more.
Summary: 5 Stars
The second in what Mr. Weber has announced as an eight book series. It is riveting. BSRA widens and deepens our understanding of many of the characters introduced in Off Armageddon Reef. This book held my attention for the three days it took me to finish it.
Not as much combat as OAR, but much more discussion of the political background and characters' motivations. I liked it.
