I folded about 1/4th in the book, took me 4 years to pick up the next part, still not fully back on track for me.
Since then i read the treecat series, and now i added part 12-13 to my Kindle Account for a holiday read 
I liked (as a M-SF series) the Kris Longknife series better even sans Cats :P |
The core Honor Harrington series is to an extent *two* series.
The early novels were mostly standalones chronicling different stages of her career, whereas the latter books are to all intents and purposes a single mega novel dealing with the collapse of an empire and the rise of new ones.
It complicates matters that the more recent novels were originally meant to feature Honor's kids after her death in battle...which he rethought and repurposed. Which is particularly amusing because a good deal of the ongoing narrative relates to the hidden enemy having to move *their* plans forward a generation.
Of course, once you're twenty-some volumes deep into a series (of series) the urge to hang around for the (expected) payoff is pretty big.
