A re-read and I still love this series. Enough that I feel like I’m gonna just go straight ahead with a re-read of the whole thing, and add in the last few books I didn’t get around to (hoping the momentum is consistent with the whole series.)
The action is still fresh, the settings imaginative and engaging. The dialogue is snappy and propulsive. And if this all sounds like just a full-on action ride – yes! It absolutely is. But it’s also teeming with relevant social issues on a grand scale.
These books are hefty but they never seem to feel like long reads. The ‘science’ part of the scifi isn’t overly complex (and as a hard-core hard scifi fan I love that too) or too esoteric, so these are probably good for those interested in dipping their toes in the SF realm without being overwhelmed.
