Fun books but the formula gets tired quick. Every book starts the same way, and what a Mary Sue character. Haven is such a caricature of communism that they’re not even fun as a villain.
I read both the Honorverse and Jack Campbell’s The Lost Fleet series, and They both have some interesting caricatures of communism/hyper-corpo-communism.
Reading both series, and other serial space operas, I’m really just reading it for the space battles and futuristic Cyberpunk political intrigue, that’s why the Mary Sue main characters work, that and having a cast of characters that are nice to come back to, part of what I loved about the familiarity of the Star Wars Expanded Universe.
Also Weber hasn’t been writing Honor as frequently these days, so it’s a treat to go back to that storyline when something new comes out, I’ve been a Weber fan for decades and enjoy the Safehold series as well, even though the main character is pretty much Honor Harrington, lol.
