Book Reviews of Conflict of Honors: A Novel of the Liaden Universe
Book Review: A little too much talking not enough action
Summary: 2 Stars
I enjoy sci-fi with good character development and t I was intrigued by Lee's world. It seemed well thought out, great characters and excellent dialog. I really enjoyed the character of Shan but was lukewarm about Priscilla the heroine. She seemed way too much of a victim for my tastes. When she's not getting harassed by co-workers, she's getting beatup by thugs while on shoreleave. I guess I like my heroines more kick @ss.
I also admit that I didn't find the romance that believable. Priscilla is bi-sexual which is fine by me but her relationships lack passion. I just didn't care whether the character got her happy ending or not. She seemed so blase about her relationships that there was no tension.
The final straw for me was just how much dialog was in this book. Pages and pages of characters sharing their feelings and chatting about events, rather than experiencing them. I like well-written dialog but parts of this novel read like a script. I found my mind drifting after a while and found it difficult to remember which character was speaking.
2 stars. Started off great, but Priscilla the prozac princess did not cut it for me. I like my heroines tougher and more involved in the story.
