After hearing so much about the series, I had to give it a go.
I very much enjoyed the concepts and ideas explored, but my biggest issue is that it's hard to get attached to characters that are here one chapter, and in the next, they've been dead for 50 years and won't be seen again, except in mention from characters later in the series.
I understand that the draw of the series is the sci-fi, the politics, the concepts, the galaxy-scale plot playing out over the course of millennia, but it did take a minute to get into that mindset and really get into the series.
