Julia W. reviewed I didn't like this book, but I read it out of order on 9/17/2008 + 32 more book reviews

Read 9/5/98 Recommended by folks on my Babylon 5 list as a heroine I'd like if I liked Bujold's Cordelia in Shards of Honor. I'm going to stick with Bujold. Like Cordelia, Honor Harrington is not a young woman who is captain of her ship; in fact she is quite elevated in society on two planets as a War Heroine.

(In fact, I think she's more similar to Richard Sharpe --Bernard Cornwell's hero of the world war between England and France against Napolean-- than Cordelia Naismith Vorkosigan.)

This heroine is too perfect; she's beautiful, very intelligent and a great soldier. She has no flaws, and I find that boring writing. But as I found out when I had nearly completed this book that this is the fourth of five books (so far) about her. And they all have the same embodiment of evil cowardly antagonist.
Bleccch!!!
