At least when I read them I can just skip over the long, tedious, boring sequences about acceleration rates or the lengthy political discussions of the Havenites. Really, I like these books but they would be SO much better with a bit of editing!

I liked the FIRST Honor Harrington book quite a bit. Then the second book opened with hithertofore fully independent Honor suddenly had this life-altering NEED to have a romantic partner. There had not been a whiff of her being lonely or desiring a helpmeet in the first book. Absolutely killed her character and the rest of the books for me.
