" This second book in the Safehold series is entertaining enough to keep you interested and wanting to know what happens next. I personally, however, found the characters to be a little flat and one-dimensional. This led me to feel less invested in the characters and their well being, which in turn made me less concerned or interested when they were in danger than I might have been. I will listen to the next in the series though, as it's a good enough story to pass the time. "

" I am quite enjoying this book, and will probably come back to the series later, starting at the beginning. Definitely has appeal for Honor Harrington fans. "

" A let down after the first book. Too much more of the same. I will probably continue the series, just not too soon. "

" Book 2 in a series, the story continues after major naval battle, and losses, of book 1. The point of view changes with every chapter, which is not unusual for Weber, but it happens a bit to frequently in this book, making it easier to put down because you're not as emotionally involved in the story. There is a very surprising plot twist involving who knows Merlin's true identity. "

" Wow, really enjoyed this second episode. It's a fantasy core inside a science fiction shell. David Weber obviously loves history, particularly of the military and political varieties. There is a lot of politics in this book, which some may find off-putting, but I came to really enjoy it; it makes the story deeper and more engaging. "

" To me this book did not really go anywhere or move the over all plot of the series forward enough to warrant a whole book. I think it should have been part of the first book and not a stand alone book. "

" Love the title ... just love the sound of the words and how it says so much with just four words. Too bad the rest of the book isn't written that way. David Weber tells a good story, but he always seems to find a way to bury it underneath a bunch of extra words. "

" Sequel to Off Armaggeddon Reef. Interesting story, but it didn't move forward as much as I thought it would. Also, the misspelling of names was really annoying and distracting all throughout the book. "

" Great read, although I think it's a background setting book. It lays the foundation for Heresies Distressed. Sometimes the politics feel contrived, that's not to say I didn't enjoy it.

" A little heavy on specific workings of artillary, but now I know why a rifled barrel is superior to a smooth bore, and the difference between a galley and a galleon. However, the story is still engaging, despite bogging down at times.
