Ashes of Victory – David Weber (8.5/10)

I've enjoyed the series thus far. However, the last two books have proved to me that I need to take a break from the Honorverse for a while.  I whizzed through this book, in a most unseemly fashion I'll admit, simply because of the amount of Havenite stuff going on. I want to read about … Continue reading Ashes of Victory – David Weber (8.5/10)

Echoes of Honor – David Weber (7.5/10)

This is book eight in my read everything in the Honorverse odyssey, and to be frank I'm tiring. As the series has developed, Honor's character has deepened and my enjoyment of her has deepened along with it. What I'm concerned about though is the authors including large sections of the narrative focusing on the other side … Continue reading Echoes of Honor – David Weber (7.5/10)

This book sees Honor taking a step back down the ladder from Admiralship in the GSN to captain … Continue reading Honor Among Enemies – David Weber (9.4/10)

Flag in Exile – David Weber (8.7/10)

The fifth book in David Weber's Honorverse has kept my interest, even though I've read the series in serial form, start to finish and one after another. Though somewhat concerned as I began reading this part of Honor's journey, that thematic elements were leaking across books in the series, my rewarded by another great read. Honor's duelling skills … Continue reading Flag in Exile – David Weber (8.7/10)

On Basilisk Station – David Weber (9/10)

I'm reading the Honor Harrington series from start to finish. This is the first of the books where we are introduced to Honor and the ships, politics, and life of the Royal Manticorian Navy.

A Call to Arms- David Weber, Timothy Zahn, Thomas Pope (8.5/10)

The second book in the Manticore Ascendant series follows the young Lieutenant Travis Long's adventures through space aboard several Manticore navy spacecraft. The only problem with this book is that I have to wait for the next installment. Good read, and stayed up till 2AM this morning to finish it. Now the wait begins - … Continue reading A Call to Arms- David Weber, Timothy Zahn, Thomas Pope (8.5/10)

A Call to Duty – David Weber, Timothy Zahn (8.5/10)

In all fairness I thoroughly enjoy everything touched by Timothy Zahn. So this book had me hoping that my enjoyment would not falter; it didn't. A great read, and the first part of a new series in the Honor Harrington universe (AKA the Honorverse on which you can read more about here). Focusing on the journey … Continue reading A Call to Duty – David Weber, Timothy Zahn (8.5/10)
