In my case, once I get to page 100, I always try to finish. But I can't blame anyone who bailed.
Is there another Baen book in the same genre I can try that others found more interesting, so I can see if maybe it's the book and not the genre?

I think the author builds too slow. I wonder about Pacs' destiny, but so far, only hints have been given. Chapter 26 (the last one I read) was interesting. Chapter 27 begins the 84% mark. Will I last to the 85% mark at which Ea quit? Yes, I've invested this much into it, so unless a house falls on me, I'll see it through to the end.
Is it a coincidence that in Latin
Pax, a homophone of
Pacs, means peace?
