Honorverse: Stephanie Harrington

review 1: When I first picked this book up I knew it was related to the Honor Harrington series by David Weber, but did not realise it was a prequel set hundreds of years before the others. That's okay, though. It just means I didn't have to worry about missing out on much since I haven't read any of the others.As the book goes, it tells the story of a young Stephanie Harrington, a recent arrival on a colony planet named Sphinx. This girl ends up accidentally making first contact with a species of cat-like people that are native to the world. The first half of the book is telling the story of how she met and became friends with a Tree-cat named Lionheart. The second half involves scientists coming to study the Tree-cats, as well as one person with a more sinister motivation tow... moreards them.I found the book to be quite enjoyable, well-written, and a great introduction to what I'm sure will be a wonderful universe. I'll be picking up the next one soon enough.
review 2: Two YA Weber stories in the Honorverse. The "kickoff" of his YA books. Both stories in this volume actually follow things that happen in the short story "The Stray" (from Worlds of Honor #2).The first story (part 1) deals with how the young Stephanie Harrington became the first person to discover treecats. An excellent story, even had me tear up a bit at one point. (5/5).The second story (part two) isn't as strong, it is of course very interesting as a fan of the series but I only give it a (3/5). Deals with an exotic pet poacher trying to get his hands on some treecats. less
