By Schism Rest Asunder - Book Review
Just finished By Schism Rest Asunder, by David Weber, the second book in the Safehold series.
The series are about humanity in a new planet, hiding from an alien species (unknowingly) by using only low tech, enforced by the church. But an android with a downloaded human wants them to know the truth...
This was pretty nice. Not sure if I got used to it or if those sections were shorter, but the plotting by everyone and naval terms in battles did not annoy me as in the first book.
One trend in Weber series repeats (not sure which was first, though) - a lonely kingdom with a good ruler, hunted by enemies, arise by having better tech and starts forming an empire. Obviously this is an important part of the Honor Harrington series, and so it is here.
Overall, I really liked it (more than the first), and I was quite surprised when it ended (I read it in an e-book with 2 other volumes, so I had no indication it was about to end).
