Dude, 20hours to move the story?

Revisado: 05-18-24

I love this series and anticipate every installment. This one however was a slog. I found myself dropping the "book" several time before forcing myself to get back to it. Finally I resorted to skipping through the visions sequences. Although I do not like abridgment, this one could use it.

Amazingly Powerful Story and Read

Revisado: 08-21-22

I love reading Sullivan's Riyria stories ( they are all Riyria stories to me because that's where I started) because they are so human and real. This book, as much as I loved the others, is one of his best; a real and loving tour de force. 10 out of 10.

Disappointing

Revisado: 08-11-21

I do not usually comment, but the narrator was flat, read too fast and one often couldn't tell the difference between characters and the notifications voice. All things considered, very disappointing.

Too Many Boring Chapters

Revisado: 03-15-21

I am a huge David Weber fan. Yet I found myself skipping through pages and pages of explanations and coliquoy that did not advance the story. I skipped through several chapters and for the first time almost dropped the book and did not get through if. it was a chore and only my respect for Weber and hope the story would get better enabled me to finish it.

Book 1 was fascinating in concept and riveting in execution. There was no drop off in quality in Book 2. imaginative and fantastic. I cannot wait for Book 3!

Way too Much talking...

Revisado: 01-06-17

I am a huge fan of the Honor universe but only that Fandom kept me plowing through the first 15 chapters and staying the course to the end. i have aandoned other books for less. Cut this thing down by a third and it's a great book. I hope Weber has not lost his mojo because he had some of the same problem in his latest book in his Safehold series.

A Lot of Fun. I Rushed to Get the Second Book

Revisado: 09-14-13

This is the version of the Robin Hood story I always wanted to hear. Not the one where Maid Marian and Robin never end up together, not the one where Sean Connery and Audrey Hepburn end up old but separate; not the one where Robin Hood dies young. Yecch! Who needs to be depressed. This is swashbuckling, more cool than Errol Flynn and Alan Hale, more interesting and more historically accurate. Angus Donald can write a story that sucks you in with interesting detail and a unique take on tough situations. Graham Padden's narration is superb.

Original, Profound and Entertaining!

Revisado: 09-03-13

This is one of the best books of the summer. When I read the publisher's description I thought this would be a work of fantasy involving time and the possibility of peace between Muslims and Jews. I was delighted to find instead a deep story about people, just people. It was not a reference to politics or war or the problems of the Middle East. It was a study on the question of what it means to be human, about freedom and redemption that comes from choosing to do the right thing, and most of all, love. The descriptions of the immigrant communities and geography of Manhattan in the late 1800's were wonderful and deeply satisfying. The characters and dialogue captivating and true. George Guidall's narration was, as usual, excellent.

Is this what literature is supposed to be like? I think so. Wonderful.

What a waste. Thank God I did not buy the Sequel

Revisado: 08-29-13

This is the case of a great storyline wasted by an author who could not manage to keep his Bush Derangement Syndrome disorder out of his writing. The FBI and administration officials in the story are not merely evil, they are are incredibly stupid and hamfisted. A Delta Force commander is played as a dolt. Evil I can handle, stupid and hamfisted is a bridge too far. Moreover, whatever your views of the Federal Government may be the United States Military is undeniably one of the most competent institutions on the planet today. Yet Mr. Alpert describes Delta Force as a bunch of trigger happy thugs who stupidly use excessive force on American soil at the drop of a hat. This a great story ruined by unoriginal snark, ideological blinders and obvious disrespect for the reader. It jumped the shark early, and only my own obsessive compulsiveness enabled me to finish the book.
