A review by betsychadwell
Auberon by Blaze Ward

3.0

I was a little skeptical of this book at first. It seemed it was just going to be a pale imitation of [b:On Basilisk Station|35921|On Basilisk Station (Honor Harrington, #1)|David Weber|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1390456253s/35921.jpg|965345]. But I kept with it and enjoyed it quite a bit. Sure it echoes Honor Harrington, but I suspect that many authors borrow inspiration from others. Auberon doesn't quite measure up to David Weber, but it was a very enjoyable, and gripping, adventure. The characters and the world building still lack a little flesh, and history, but that may be rectified in future volumes of the series. The plot was pretty good. I was engaged enough to read it in two days.
