A review by titusfortner
Off Armageddon Reef by David Weber

3.0

I like the premise and I like the main characters. Unfortunately, there are approximately 100 point of view characters and a million secondary characters. Usually authors starting large works spend the first book focusing on a few characters in a limited setting. Not so here where world-spanning decisions are made between a dozen different countries each with their own rulers and attendants and motivations. I feel strongly that I shouldn't have to consult online resources to keep track of who is who on the first book. That being said, the story is enjoyable and I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.
