Midst Toil And Tribulation (2012) - Plot & Excerpts

Even though it was a cool concept, bringing the history of the Reformation to a civilization which is in part arguably highly advanced and, in others not, technologically, I still felt like so much was predictable. And I found the Welshish/Old English spelling of names with ys to be annoying. It had a lot of potential, but at the end of the day, I did not feel like investing myself in the characters. After enjoying the previous book in the series I was looking forward to this. However, it was not up to the same quality in storytelling or pace. The biggest problem with this one is that the book only covered six months of time. Given the huge distances involved in traveling around on Safehold, there was a limited amount of conflict other than expanding on that that which existed at the end of the last book. There was a little bit of advancement in the plot, but not much. Similarly not much technological advance could occur in six months. Too much military logistics involved in detail. I like to know the overall strategy and movements but when any military author starts to go into a 4 squads, 3 companies, 2 divisions and a partridge in a pair tree info dump, I lose interest and tend to skip.Overall this seemed just like a setup for the massive land campaign that will (I hope) be the contents of the next book that comes out in Feb 2014.
