Review: Just one problem...
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 10 11, 2013
Compelling narrative, structure, and vision of an interstellar future. As other reviewers have noted, Soriila seems to outshine all the other characters, most of whom lack any defining quirks or noteworthy traits. The final showdown was intense due to the buildup throughout the series. Really, there's just a mild flaw in the world-building: Several of the aliens express surprise at the materials' science of the humans, in their construction of carbon nano-tube orbital tethers and molecular blades - yet the narrative states that these aliens have ship armor dramatically more advanced that the hulls of human ships- so why would carbon nano-tubes impress them? That needs to be clarified.
