What!? . . . Didn't enjoy OBS!!!? . . . GET HIM!!!! . . .

I DID ENJOY OBSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!! I DIDDD!!!!!!!!!!! HONEST I DIDDD!!!!!!!!!!
WE CAN'T HEAR YOU!
Late Edit: You probably didn't enjoy OBS because you didn't start the series with it, as I was fortunate enough to enjoy. By the time you read OBS you had morphed into what I've come to call "series uppity."
Can't argue with HotQ put in contention for best book in the series. The bit about Abby staring up at the night sky is so intimate, sweet and ahem arousing. It's interesting to note everyone's "stranded on an island" Weber book. Mine, OBS! One of my friend's is At All Costs. Kzt hates that one. I like it too. Goes to show that Weber writes something for everyone. LOL
We mustn't forget that even the RMN was unsure about the measure of its qualitative edge until taking the gloves off. I think Michelle was the first to really test the waters regarding their inferiority. So, if the RMN itself wasn't so sure about the fruits of its own labors, then we can't fault anyone else from failing to notice their total superiority. Besides, there's always danger in numbers, which the League has. Hard to ignore the numbers, even when you're a true blue strategist. AND! When everyone has been afraid of the biggest bully in history for eons, it's hard to completely wrap your head around the fact that the bully's abdominal muscles have gone weak - enough to put your faith in the new guy who everyone thinks can whip him, until he does. Well, it's much easier to put one's faith in him, without betting one's farm on him.
