Finally powered through David Weber's Safehold 10, Through Fiery Trials. It was pretty obviously a set up book, the set up the next phase of the Safehold books. I think I would have rather Weber just dropped the series, but I guess it's been too good a seller for that. Basically, a lot of "gee, having kids is a wonderful experience", characters who were kids in the last book getting married plus killing off much of the previous generation due to old age and setting up the next set of conflicts, plus a massive bomb shell at the very end. In case you hadn't guess, I found it a hard slog. Not sure I will continue this series.
