Book Reviews of By Schism Rent Asunder
Book Review: What's With Those Maps?
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is weaker than the first in the series mainly because Merlin, the chief character, has gotten lost in the crowd.
And they screwed up the maps: Delferahk, a key site of the action, isn't on the world map. (It's hard to see even where it could be.) And the maps of Chisolm and Corisande aren't needed at all -- the action hasn't reached there yet.
Still, it's a good story.
Book Review: Good, but...
Summary: 4 Stars
Well, it is a good story (David Weber doesn't write poor ones) but it is a small bite of what I assume will be a long, involved plot spread over many more books. By contrst, the most recent Honor Harrington novel had much more content. If you like Weber's stuff in general, you'll like this one. Just be prepared for the literery equivalent of a BLT rather than a four-course dinner.Book Review: David Weber continues a great story
Summary: 4 Stars
David Weber's latest volume concerning Safehold is another good read. Compelling story lines are continued and he sets the stage for books later on in the series. I'd rate this one higher, but this book spends a lot of time setting up events that will occur later on. Nonetheless a good book to read - especially if you are a fan of his writing.
Book Review: Tedium Rewarded
Summary: 4 Stars
It was tough working through the many unpronouncable names of characters who seemed to have 3 or 4 names and titles that were used interchangably discussing their inner thoughts and political mechinations... But.... The Weber of Honor Harrington comes through with a thouroughly engaging story that leaves me eager for the next installment.Book Review: Let down a little
Summary: 4 Stars
Afrter reading Armageddon Reef, I expected a faster paced book. I realize that is is a series, but if I had read this one first, I may not have been tempted to read the other books in the series. There just wasn't enough swashbuckling. The shipper was prompt and the book arrived as promised-new.
