I would have liked this book to focus a bit more on Honor and not so much what was happening at home. But it was a daring escape, 100% of what I would expect from Honor.

Way too much exposition and long-winded world building between dialog IMO. If you've read the earlier books in the series, much of this is repetitive or simply unnecessary. The complete history is given for at least a few characters who don't even survive their first engagement. I found myself actively skipping entire pages of text looking for the next piece of dialog just to get through it, which is really sad this far into the series.

He's done it to me again! I finished Echoes of Honor, panting to know what's gonna happen next.
Weber creates larger-than-life major characters which tend to play out the stereotypes. What takes them beyond is how he distributes the good and the bad on both sides of the war. You don't want the bad guys to win...but...you don't want this nice enemy to die!
The battle tactics, the chemistry, the military technology is amazingly in-depth. I kept wanting to skip chunks of text because I just had to know what happened next...and I knew I hate myself if I did that. So the race was on tearing through only to come up short at the end...dang it!

It's not a great sign when the main character is only involved in about 25% of the book. The first books in this series are great, but the last few have fallen off. This book was a lot more talking and planning and a lot less action.

I loved the ending of this book but I have to say the middle lost me a few times when we were jumping around to each squadron or fleet.
