I was planning on reading the Honorverse from David Weber. However I've read Mutineers Moon and The Excalibur Alternative and I'm not altogether pleased with his writing style

So far, in his stories, I've noticed that he writes long drawn out action scene (it’s mostly long because we’re hearing the character think a lot, which might or might not be relevant to the story.) to set up a situation, however when that situation finally comes to fruition, he decides to do a giant time skip.

I'll explain what I meant using The Excalibur Alternative and a bit of Mutineers Moon as an example, so don't read it if you're planning to read the book.



If the Honorverse is the same I'd rather not read it, because I'd like to spare myself the frustration.

Well, that's his writing style...

I would still recommend the Honor Harrington books.

Not for the plot, or the characters, or the Sci-Fi world, those are mediocre. However he still manages to draw you in.

Once you start reading you'll read the entire series and be left hankering for more.

I'd like to read a few good books now and again. That's why I asked about the series. I always finish books that I start reading, so I rather start reading a good one.

Why should I read a book if it has mediocre plot, character and setting, but will compel me to finish it. I'd be left with an empty feeling at the end and, apparently, hankering for more.

I'll skip the books. Thanks for the response.
