Honor Harrington--A Rising Thunder - Roll Call and First Impressions (NO SPOILERS)

[Lindsey]

This is the thread to discuss if you'll be reading A Rising Thunder by David Weber and your initial impressions. Remember, no spoilers!

I'll just 'fess up first: I'm two books behind (thank you, Wheel of Time!). Now that I'm done with A Memory of Light, I should catch up within a couple weeks. Looking forward to it!

I'm more than two books behind in the Honor Harrington series (just about 2/3 done with Storm from Shadows) and I've got the same excuse - the Wheel of Time series. I'll eventually get caught up, I hope, and maybe even before the end of 2013. :)

My goal is to get Torch of Freedom and Mission of Honor read by the end of the month (i.e. before I have to jump into whatever my MIRL book club has picked for March). Then hopefully I can tackle Rising Thunder and maybe catch up to Shadow of Freedom by the time we start it as a group. We'll see if it happens.

Putting this off till I read Transformation, but I should get to it while the discussion is still going on, I hope. And I know I can always chime in after the group moves on to the next book, anyway.

When i joined this group (i am slowly going out of my lurking stage) i put this book aside to read with the group. And obviously managed to totally miss the starting date. It's next on my pile now. I had started it but i was struggling. Not sure if it was the book or my mood. We will see.

Welcome to the discussion, Esther! Please feel free to go back to the earlier threads and add your impressions of the other books. Can't wait to see what you think!

[Lindsey]

So I didn't quite make my goal but I did finish Mission of Honor last night. Starting this one today and hoping that the shorter length will let me speed through to join in on the last book in a timely way!
