*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.
Well, it took forever, but I finally finished Ashes of Victory. Not a very satisfying ending, but it was fun there for a while. It will probably be a while before I start the next one.

Next is The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde for the book club.
