Sadly, I am officially abandoning this series ... at least until I retire and can dedicate as much time as I'd like to get through it.
I made 2 attempts over 6 years to complete the saga of Honor Harrington all the way through. Each time I burned out, right about when this book takes place. Its now 4 years later, and I still don't see myself completing the series anytime soon.

This is the best book in this series so far. Everything is fully blown. And it is the thickest one also, which will make quite a bore if you cannot take the heavy stuffs.

In October 2008 (or thereabouts) I gave this a try. Couldn't get past the relationship developments. Still don't like the way that was handled. But other parts of this are awesome if you like stiffly military SF. Some of Weber's best work. (He is nowhere near being one of my favorite authors, though, so keep that in mind.)

The last couple of pages made me drop this series the first time I read it...if you have a less bad reaction to that. Otherwise it is typical of the series, interesting politics, some war.

Action packed, especially if you like following shrewd political maneuvering. A must for the Honor Harrington fan; this series is worth the time.
Very mixed feeling, and too long book.
