A Rising Thunder by David Weber

Too little Honor. What was once a personal series has become more of a political series and I find myself trying to figure out the modern parallels he's trying to draw. And Mesa has become too adept at pulling strings and people are too slow to figure out what's going on. Reminds me too much of our politics and thus makes it less fun of a read. There are still great emotional beats, like the ones with her uncle and the moments that recall the deaths in the previous book, but too few and far between.
