Others: MixedThis is the second book in the Honor Harington series, a large and growing collection of classic space opera style written by someone very well versed in military history and tactics. Webber's writing style and level of detail provide a compelling and almost unstoppable urge to read the whole thing through in one sitting, or at least from the middle onward, after he has made his introductions and located his story in whatever new place and time Honor finds herself.

Not a fanI have to say I just didn't like any of the Verosigan saga prequels and in order for me to really enjoy the story, Miles really has to be the main character. So, this one was a strong dislike and also might appear on the other list as well.
Loved itIt's a good entry point into the series, but Barrayar is the one with the shopping scene at the end that made me so excited.
