73. Read the entire Hornblower series of books

I finished Hornblower and the Hotspur today. It isn't often that I love a book series this much. I look forward to every book, every word, every adventure.

I didn't enjoy this one as much as the first two. That being said, I still loved it more than most books I've ever read *G* I was prepared for Miranda, obviously, and it was highly interesting to see all that play out. I loved his conflicting emotions, and of course how the Royal Navy takes priority over everything else. Poor Hornblower, unable to catch a break- what with prize money, food issues, and seasickness. I loved the battles and missions, and it was wonderful to see Horatio in command. I especially liked reading about Horatio's reports of his own adventures and Bush completely shocked by how Horatio plays down his incredible, heroic acts!
