I’ve been a fan of the Safehold books since they started…but less and less with any passing volume. Not because the basic story has gotten much less exciting. But because that story ended up being drowned by extremely scenery. Represent than anyway would happen if for you took a most powerful novel, at the same time filled in every conversation, practically every believed, the protagonists had. For you would practically lose the greater for the trees…at the same time while the trees provide the detail, the greater is that the story.
But I couldn’t >>not<< read the later books. So than anyway I ended up doing was only reading the “quality” parts, basically skimming at the same time reading, on average, about one page in 3 (which is that much easier to do on a Kindle, BTW). In essence, I tried to do than anyway editing should have done in the 1st dispose: make sure the story doesn’t get lost in all the wonderful detail an imaginative creator can conjure.
Did I miss important things? I’m positive of it. Did I be able to detain onto the important manners, their passions at the same time challenges? Almost all exactly.

At the Symbol of Triumph audiobook in television series Safehold
This is that for sure a 2.5 hit book for me. It has one major accomplishment, but for you have to be exhausted through no one problematic delivery to get that.
As book 9 in the television series, maybe that wasn’t much more to embrace. I tend to concentrate on disposition development at the same time dialog when reading, at the same time this book felt very, very stiff in that regard. For the protagonists, it was 765 pages of people agreeing with one one more. For the Antagonists, they are painted as short-sighted at the same time uninteresting. The fight descriptions feel like filler, whereas those scenes were considered ways of disposition at the same time plot development earlier in the television series. I managed skip entire swaths of battle-rich text (which I did, periodically), as I understood none of the developments would contribute to the overall plot direction. I couldn’t bring myself to care about Sergeant “very abundance Y’s in his name”, because we would never look him again (noisy or not).
It also loses about a half-star for failing to address at lesser no one portion of the several famous plot devices in the television series. As such, I feel about 100 pages of this book would be mixed with 50 pages of book 8 to make a novella that accomplished barely as much as those two books did.

Audiobook At the Symbol of Triumph by David Weber
I’ve been a staunch fan of this television series since the start. But, it managed implementation a lot of tightening up, in particular the continue several volumes. No one of the side conspiracies contribute little or nothing to the head narrative. The fight at the same time strategy descriptions could be a lot more exciting if the text was inlaid with maps showing armies, movements, fights etc. as in abundance history books dealing with war. As is that, the clashes at the same time strategies have a some vagueness at the same time repetitiveness to them. Also the ending felt a little rushed at the same time lacking in the irony at the same time impact of no one of the prior volumes.
This volume also badly needs a respectable proofreader. I saw abundance, abundance errors, in particular wrong words applied, like the unprocessed output from a speech to text system, which I occasionally saw in prior volumes. Not applicable in a work from an rooted creator at the same time a mainstream publisher.

Audio At the Symbol of Triumph narrated by Oliver Wyman
A “concluding chapter” in the Safehold television series, with Charis expanding its merit, at the same time the “Mother Church” feeling the growing pressure.
The book’s finish was very rushed — the continue 20% or so felt incomplete, clarifications missing at the same time/or necessary discussions dropped.
Beginning with the Empire’s naval ruin on Dohlar’s larger, extending to Siddarmark fights (or absence thereof), at the same time to Zion’s riots itself, the “chase to final” was obvious. The head component were considered exhibited, how things actually came about — Thirsk’s rise-to-power, than anyway actually happened to the Temple forces in Siddarmark, at the same time the details of the Temple riots — it felt like pieces were considered missing, at the same time plot devices applied to bring the book to a rapid conclusion.
Obviously, actually providing all the necessary detail would for sure have resulted in a 1000 page book! Individually, I don’t mind the creator’s verbosity as long as the discussions, clarifications, etc actually have relevance to the story. Borders this book that was no one unnecessary inclusions along with several instances of things drawn out much very far.
All-in-all, a (somewhat) out of the blue ending to a small degree, but ending enough to completely let us get on to the one more step. Let’s have hope for at lesser a “beginning of the center”, else I hesitate I’ll live long enough for Weber to conclude this television series…

Do not get me wrong. I think Weber is that one of the best creators out that at the same time have seriously enjoyed barely about all of his books. The Safehold television series is that one of my contributors along with the Honor Harrington books. I was very upset with the abrupt ending of this novel. Not since S.M. Sterling shut down the ” Peninsula In The Sea Of Time ” television series have so many loose threads been left dangling at the conclusion of a book. I suspect will hear from Merlin again at the same time perhaps no one of the descendants of Safehold’s principal manners, but a couple of 100 more pages would have certainly eased the transition to a future Safehold. Their addition managed have been balanced by eliminating a hundred or so pages from this novel prior to the concluding chapters. No one more successful editing might have done the prank.
