#35 Shadow of Freedom by David Weber

Another book in the Honor Harrington series but not really dealing with Honor at all. This follows Michelle Henke, her friend and cousin to the Empress of the Star Kingdom. The book was ok but it didn't feel like a complete story more like an episode in a long running series. None of the action happens in the Star Kingdom at all and some of the story was more infodumping. I'll still read these but I long for the days of the early books. Not a book for a new reader to the series.

#36 The Truth of Valor by Tanya Huff

I forgot to log in the first book of the year with a written review, whoops my bad.

I like this series and I don't know if there will ever be more in it so I had held off reading this one. The books can stand on their own but it does help to have read the previous ones in the series. Torin is now a retired space marine and is now making a go of it as a miner with her boyfriend. Pirates attack and take her boyfriend and leave her for dead. Of course that doesn't last and she calls her retired marine friends to help get him back. Good solid story line and a fun read.
