merichmer 's review for:
On Basilisk Station
by David Weber
3.5 stars. I really enjoyed the actual story, but felt the author got a bit sidetracked sometimes by unnecessary details. I get that people like science in their science fiction, but I ended up skipping whole pages on weaponry/technology and sometimes politics. The book also suffers some of the generic pitfalls of a male author writing a female protagonist. Some of his descriptions sexualize Honor in a way I think is unnecessary and a little gross. Unfortunately, it gets even worse in the next book, which I just started reading. I get it, Weber was writing in the early nineties...but it still makes me cringe. Really hoping this type of language tapers off as the series goes on.
