By Heresies Distressed by David Weber
4.0
While I absolutely loved the first two novels in this series, it may be succumbing to the law of diminishing returns. I merely liked this one very much.
By this, the third novel, I’ve come to like the protagonists and wish them well. That said, reading this series is like playing an RPG on the Easy setting. Our heroes are so overpowering that the novel lacks tension: it’s an exercise in being there while good people triumph over favorable odds.
Still, I like this world and I like these people. I’ll let the series rest for a few months before I read the next volume, and I do look forward to reading more about the adventures of Nimue Alban and her friends.
