While making story progress, the book itself is essentially boring. That's not to say it's badly written - the quality is the usual.

But it is very easy to guess what will happen in the entire book, without there ever being any significant tension except in rare cases - mostly limited to characters. But since there are quite a few of those, the overall tension stays rather low.

None of the story comes as a surprise, and the whole experience, despite some important events, is more akin to a filler. It needed to be written to progress the story, but even Weber got fed up with it, as can be seen in the tempo and scope of the last few chapters.

If you're reading the series, you'll have to read it anyway.

A little too much war, not enough story

Finally all caught up with this series! The first half of this book was too slow and I was ready to call it quits, but the second half really picked up and pulled me back in. I'll probably keep reading when the next book is ready lol.

Pretty much like the others. Leaves us with what hopefully is an interesting turning point for the overall arc of the series. Interested to see what happens next.
