Awareness of what Yoshiki is trying to do with this series also helps the reader understand why so much science is hand-waved away in favour of describing political and military manoeuvres, with much emphasis placed on the latter. The book has ten chapters, and two of those chapters are dedicated entirely to describing every single little tactical decision made, and their subsequent consequences, in meticulous detail. I suppose Yoshiki does that so the reader may better admire the cleverness of the story???s chief protagonists, but those chapters can feel like an enormous drag, if the reader is looking for more character development or plot movement.
