Valiant by Jack Campbell
4.0

I just really like this series. I like the plot. I like the premise. I like the characters.

I really like the way Geary teaches his crew and fleet about honor and what is not okay to (civilian and military) people even in war. I like that he still doubts himself if he's the right one to lead this fleet and get them home and that he still struggles with the hopes/demands/fears everyone places on him.

I'm really curious about how is sabotaging the fleet (even though, my gut feeling tells me I won't like the reveal :/) and how they'll end the war (or at least negotiate a ceasefire or something) and how they'll deal with the aliens.

I'm a bit "hmmm" about the relationship drama that crept into this part though. It's not a huge thing but it kept popping up. :/
