I enjoyed the second half of this book far more than the first. For the first 40 pages or so, the reader is treated not only to a recap of the rest of the series (understandable, most serieses do this), but also example after example of how "special" Honor, how everyones loves, how she is the most unique and amazing person every. If one person isn't thinking it, another and the reader gets both people's thoughts more than once.
Gag me with a spoon. Honestly, I would be saying this even if Honor was a male. One of the good things about Harry Potter was the fact that Rowling didn't make him the best at everything. Honor is the best at everything! She's great! (Question, would she be that great if Weber hadn't made her with strength, special treecat abilities and genetic enhancements?). If you don't like, you're a bad guy who meets a messy end.
However, once the book gets into space, it gets much better. Honor's imprisonment and escape are well done, and while there is a bit too much political lecturing (and one wonders why Honor couldn't make a mistake, why her capture has to be the fault of another officier), the action more than makes up for it.

This was another enjoyable entry in the Honor Harrington series. Would like to give it 3.5 but can't :/ Rolled right into the next one as I needed to know what happens!
I absolutely hate the spoilery title.
For em this book is not on paHaving said that, I still give it 3 stars, because it's written in Weber usual style and I quite like it and because I was up literally until 3 this morning to see how it was going to end
For em this book is not on pa

This is an exciting adventure and it gives a lot of insight into what the People's Republic of Haven is going through with its supposedly better government. It seems to be more ideological and repressive than the government it replaced. Harrington is a Commodore sent on a mission to escort some Merchant Marine ships. Unaware that the Havenites have more advanced weapons she ends up sacrificing her ship to save the rest of her convoy. Though the members of the Havenite Navy want to treat her and her crew with honor, a more fanatical element of the government wants to break her down and execute her.
