3.5-4 stars? Oops. I forgot to rate this one immediately after reading. It was okay.

Not very surprisingly I didn't really like this one vey much. Not only do I not like the concept of Harrington surrendering but the book was, for large parts, bloody slow.

Holy hell.
I cannot remember the last time I cried so much through a book as I did this one.
That's all I have to say about that.

A nice change from the usual "Honor saves everyone with her brilliant space battle moves" that has been the norm for every book in the series up to this one. I like that someone else got to save the day, though I really didn't like the number of people who didn't make it to the end of the book. Looking forward to reading the next one and seeing how she gets herself out of the predicament she now finds herself in.

This book ends on more of a cliffhanger than previous installments int the Honor Harrington series, and Honor's companions play a more prominent role in much of the action than she does.
I enjoyed learning more about Honor's mother, the treecats, and several of the Peeps (Theisman, Tourville, Honecker, Caslet, and Foraker, especially). The defection by Harkness has me fooled for quite a while, too, and I am glad he survived his crazy plan! The injuries suffered by Honor and Nimitz will prove to be a challenge, even if she is treated eventually by her mother at the new clinic back on Grayson.
I did find the extreme depth of Honor's despair to be almost too much. I realize it was compounded by her link to Nimitz while he was so badly injured, but it still seemed so over-the-top, even for her. Yet, when she found her core of strength in the brig, that rang true!
Can't wait to move on to the next book in the series!
