so much of every Honor Harrington book consists of reading about people in meetings speculating and extrapolating and getting it SO WRONG, causing you to either cheerfully gloat about it or wish you could reach into the book and just shake them
when did you get here?

“I’ve had people ask me ‘How do you write a strong female character?’ and my response is ‘I don’t, I write a strong human being who happens to be female.’”
— David Weber

“She’s just happened to be in the right places—or the wrong ones, I suppose, from our perspective—for the last, oh, ten years or so. That’s the official consensus from my analysts, at least. The other theory, which seems to have been gaining a broader following of late, is that she’s in league with the Devil.”

Do you ever read one single line and it completely changes your world?
I’ve been reading the Honorverse for more than ten years now, and it started publishing nearly thirty years ago, and all along I’ve always pictured the Graysons speaking with an exaggerated, almost comically parodic Southern accent. Given how their cult fanatic founder imported his pseudo-American perception of society to their new planet – with a continent named Idaho and an obsession with Baseball and ‘classical’ music based on Country & Western – this accent was an integral part of my mental image. Grayson = The South.
Nope, they’re Welsh. Llandovery, specifically, based on the accent.
….YOU SPRING THIS ON US TWENTY BOOKS INTO THE SERIES?!?!?

My friend from work got me reading this space opera series “Honor Harrington” by David Webber and I am absolutely OBSESSED. Unfortunately, I’ve been trying so hard not to harass him with every last little thought about it but I can’t find a fandom either. Idk if it’s because the book aren’t newer or what, but pleaaaaaase someone come let me live message my thoughts on these books. He says he’s not annoyed, but I don’t want to get to the point where I do annoy him. Omfg.

HUFFLEPUFF: “But what kept them on their feet when there was no sane reason for hope were the bonds between them, loyalty to one another, the knowledge others depended on them even as they depended on those others. And sometimes, all too rarely, it came down to a single person it was simply unthinkable to fail. Someone they knew would never quit on them, never leave them in the lurch.” –David Weber (Honor Harrington: The Honor of the Queen)
