I'm flattered that you all took the time for this, but I suspect one reason for the skew "younger" towards Safehold is that the Honorverse has been along for so much longer. If you started reading those books with OBS in 1993 when you were 30, well . . . . "Oh, bother!" said Pooh, as Piglet came back from the dead.
