On Basilisk Station
by David Weber
Bookriot Read Harder Challenge 2015: Task 12, a sci-fi novel
Why I chose this book: On my TBR pile, supposed to be a classic with a good female lead.
On reading: I LOVED this and went straight on to the next book in the series. Honor is a great character and it was great to see a female lead without a love interest, for once (though it would be nice to see friends, not just subordinates). The politics were interesting, the world reasonably well fleshed, and my only quibble would be two large physics infodumps which didn't really add anything much to the story for me and could have been handled better in some dialogue.
