Honor Harrington books? You mean the series where a cardboard-cutout Mary Sue goes through the most heavy-handed, simplistic, black-and-white version of The French Revolutionary Wars In Space without anything interesting happening at any point? Seriously I would be so ready to love the Honor Harrington books if they were any good at all

Also, the Vorkosigan books are rock-solid starting from The Vor Game (I like the earlier books too but I consider the Miles series to begin with The Vor Game) (and definitely better than David Weber) if you're not into it by then you probably never will be

Personal taste is personal taste and entirely subjective. And I don't like either series.

I love the Vorkosigan Saga with a bright burning love. but I understand bouncing off books. I tried reading Weber quite a while ago, and bounced hard enough (can't even remember which book at this point) that I never wanted to try the Harrington books. Perhaps at some point I'll give one of them a go, but that would be at some point in the far future, given the number of books I have on my TBR pile.

One of the commenters below had what I think is a good review of what she (and I) think makes the Vorkosiverse good storytelling. And I do tend to agree with people who say that Bujold's writing is pretty damned good.

Reading is, as others have said, a very subjective thing. If you've tried Vorkosigan books and can't get into them, then you can't get into them. That's taste.
