War of Honor – (Honor Harrington, Book 10) David Weber

Title: War of Honor

Series: Honor Harrington, Book 10

Author: David Weber

Genre: Science Fiction

Let me just say that I love David Weber’s Honor Harrington series – and I’m a latecomer. Though I’m more of an action type of guy, the political intrigue and character development of this series complement and accentuate the action extremely well. I greatly enjoyed War of Honor, though I will admit that I would have loved more action – Weber seemed to want to especially dig into the political and emotional escapades of his characters in this one.

But as always, when you get to the climactic battle(s) the payoff is always worth the wait. I can’t say that I loved this as much as some of his more recent additions to the series (specifically Harrington’s escape from the prison planet in Echos of Honor), but it definitely was worth the read.

Highly recommend it! But…if you haven’t ever read an Honor Harrington novel, do yourself a favor and start with On Basilisk Station. I wish I had known to start there when I discovered this incredible series.

Recommended Age: Due to some of a few more mature themes, I recommend this for at least the later middle-school-age crowd. Nothing too overtly sexual (and nothing explicit), but the battle narratives are brutaly honest about what is going on.
