Negative Positive
Title: Desperately seeking editor...
Review: This book needed some serious editing, but it didn't get it. The first 80% was filled with endless meetings between various characters who either rehashed what happened in the previous books or rehashed the current political situation. This book could have easily been half its length without leaving anything out and would have been a much better read in the process.I'm sorry to say it, but Weber's writing has just deteriorated over the course of the series. The characters have all lost their distinctive voices, and even if they hadn't, 90% of the dialog has become exposition in disguise. It's clear that at this point, Weber is just grinding them out to order.
