I read A Hymn Before Battle just a couple of weeks ago. I really wasn't very impressed. I finished it, but have little interest in continuing the series. I felt there were too many viewpoints, some of which really didn't amount to anything (probably just setup for later in the series), and some inconsistency on what the tech could actually do.
I don't think I had any problems with his Honorverse stories in Service of the Sword, though.
