Negative Positive
Title: Soap opera
Review: Unfortunately David Weber, like so many authors today seems to be writng for a TV mini series not a novel. The cast of characters is so large that it is hard to keep track of who did what and when. The scene changes so many that the modern TV producers will love it. Honor Harrington, the heroine is conspicious by her absence. Like his last two novels about her, 80% of the book is about other people. Also, it should have been called the "Battle of Honor" as it is a lead-in to the sequel(s) that will have the war.I also didn't like his non-standard use of female pronouns to refer to people in general, it interrupted the flow and made me stop reading to try and figure out who he was talking about. Besides using bad grammer the book was poorly edited in general. I don't think I will be buying any more of this line.
