Been doing a lot of crocheting and listening again.

So I have joined in with the ladies of The Craft Club to make crochet items for the Little Havens Hospice. The theme is Enid Blyton's The Faraway Tree and they are trying to break the record of over 4000 pieces. So to keep things short I have been busy making said items and listening to lots of audio books (when not reading Goodreads m/m group Love's Landscape stories).

Review Of A Rising Thunder by David Weber

A Rising Thunder (Honor Harrington #13) by David Weber 4*
BLURB: Peril and strife strike on a double front for Honor Harrington and company. After a brutal attack on the Manticoran home system, Honor Harrington has rooted out a plan designed to enslave the entire human species. Behind that plan lies the shadowy organization known as the Mesan Alignment. Task number one for Honor is to shut down and secure the wormhole network that is the source of the Star Kingdom's wealth and power—but also its greatest vulnerability. Yet this is an act that the ancient and corrupt Earth-based Solarian League inevitably takes as a declaration of war.
The thunder of battle rolls as the Solarian League directs its massive power against the Star Kingdom. And once again, Honor Harrington is thrust into a desperate battle that she must win if she is to survive to take the fight to the real enemy of galactic freedom—the insidious puppet masters of war who lurk behind the Mesan Alignment!
My REview: Complimentary Review Copy Provided by Publisher Through NetGalley. I've only given this a 4* because it just wasn't as satisfying as the previous Honorverse books. It had all the trademark Weber touches that I expected but it seemed to be lacking a little something. Maybe it's because it was setting up for the next book or because it didn't have as much substance as usual. Mind that doesn't mean I won't be getting book 14 as soon as I can afford it because I will. I am totally addicted to David Weber's Honorverse :D
