Title: When the Rest of the Story Appears in the Next Couple Books
Review: .. . . the total rating earned might add up to 5 or 6 stars.I complained about the endless fighting in Weber's last two books; now it's endless obsessing about diplomacy and politics among mostly 2-dimensional characters. Incomplete bits of story tossed in. Honor mostly on the sidelines. Shameless watering down of one story to justify (I'm guessing now) two more books. And the shameless watering down evidently did not save him any work, because he still came up with 800 pages. Man, what a job to finish reading. It's like he wants to stretch the story out because he's afraid he won't have another story left in him for the next book. Which I sincerely doubt would happen. He needs to get back to telling taut, exciting, fast paced, action and character driven tales!
