The plot threads of the Bobiverse are tied up.
The problem I had with the first two books in the series is still present in the third: despite raising myriad questions about planetary colonization, alien contact, ethics, existence, etc., the questions are not explored in any meaningful way. Heck, even practical matters are often hand-waved off-screen.
I did enjoy reading these books and they inspired much pondering, but I wish the author himself had spent more time pondering and less trying to think up ways to show how clever the Bobs are.
I am interested in reading the next two books in the series; I just hope that they will have a little more depth now that the world is well established and the major plot threads of the first three books are finished.
