Awesome! Not as big on the epic battles as the first book, but the politics and characters are spot on. Weber is careful to move the plot forward at a realistic pace, given the constraints of the world he created. Highly recommended series for sci-fi and fantasy fans.
Notes:
This is one of the longest transition books I've read where not a whole lot happened. lol However, I liked some of the unexpected plot turns and may dive into the #3 sooner vs later.

Love this series. People complain about too much dialogue and not enough action, but the dialogue is necessary to the story and doesn't feel overly verbose.
Weber did a great job here. I really love his writing for the evocative battles, yet this book didn't have many --- what it did have was characters making important, honorable (and hard!) decisions, and making some stirring speeches.
This is the second novel in Weber's "Safehold" series; don't read this one without reading the first, and don't expect all the loose ends to be tied up neatly by the end of the book.
5 stars out of 5.

Political intrigue, war on a global basis, what more could you want? This was a really fun read and I can recommend this to anyone who enjoys sci-fi, fantasy or historical fiction. The first book is great and the rest in the series follow along. I am ready though to see how he will wrap up all the story lines.
This book was a lot of endless discussions of political stuff and not enough fighting.
Also, and this book is by no means the worst offender, I am pretty over the technique of building suspense by ending the scene just as the characters start to discuss their clever plan.
