Been reading Honor Harrington books on vacation.
Good: political and technological world building, factions that are flawed but easy to root for, compelling action sequences.
Bad: eye-rolling 90s neocon chicken-hawk posturing, Mary Sue vibes from Honor herself, some very clumsy historical parallels, well beyond what “Horatio Hornblower in space” strictly needs, and I think Weber was maybe literally in love with her.
