Being a fan of David Brin's Uplift Saga, the idea of engineered species serving or working with man is nothing new, but the idea of rabbits being the chosen species is intriguing and I think worthy of your time as a reader. The story does follow some familiar pathways, but I think there are some pleasant twists and the writing is well-paced. An earlier reviewer stated that he didn't feel like he understood the dynamic of the two warring factions, but I think the reader is intended to feel a little confusion about it since the story is being told through the eyes of a young rabbit who never needed to pay attention to the bigger picture. I'm sure as young David matures, we will see more of the underlying social and political structures through his eyes. I look forward to reading the rest of the series over the next few days.
