Not my favorite, but still quite good. 
 The book does much as the title implies. Things had to go wrong sometime and Honor loses and gets captured. Things get complicate with lots of politics and propaganda. Which is kind of what makes this a lesser book than the rest. The battles, fights and all the time spend with Honor is excellent, but there is way to much politics and to much time spent on people other than Honor herself. 
 The series moves away just a bit to far from Honor personal story to the story of the war as a whole. 
 In short not my favorite, but still better than most.
