Lots of thought dumps that detract somewhat from the story and has kind of put me off the series as each novel is very similar to the last whereby Honor is going to survive and be the hero. May return to the series in the future.
Honor is great!Honor is grand!Let's sing about Honor while we stand on our hands!And that is what is wrong with this. Honestly, I debtated, am still debating whether to give one or two stars. The Honor worships was so over the top, it wasn't even funny. I can't even write this review without tree...
While I've always liked the Honor books, this one particularly frustrated me because I would read about what the enemies were planning right under the good guys' noses, it seemed. And then, that government which was installed in place of Cromarty is terrible, and frustrating too. :P
