*The info dumps seem to be more numerous and longer in the last couple books than the previous ones. Hopefully, assuming I finish this one before I take a break, the anthologies will help me get back into the Honorverse when I decide to continue. I will be following pdurrant's suggested reading order I think.
The info dumps continue unabated in the ones written only by Weber. But not as bad as Ashes. Somewhere I wrote a review that said, basically, that somewhere in that 1000 page book was a good 500 page book screaming to get out.

The books off the main line are definitely better, IMO.
