Title: I wanted to like this book
Review: I love military scifi and space opera. I really wanted to like this book.So, I trudged thru this book hoping it would get better. It never did.The story has an interesting premise...Honor Harrington gets command of a the "H.M.S. Fearless". The ship has just been rebuilt with crappy armament.The book bogs down with the descriptions of armament, the Royal Navy, and politics. I don't mind the details, but please at least make them mildly interesting. I found myself skipping 2-3 paragraphs at a time. Character development is also very shallow. Dialog wasn't that great either...Weber illogically shifts between characters. Sometimes it's hard to tell who's talking.I recommend Elizabeth Moon's Serrano Legacy over Weber's borefest. Two stars for the good ship names and for the treecat.
