It finally took until the last book for me to really click with this series, but I finally found it to be more engrossing than the previous two. I do have some quibbles with how he wrapped it up, especially with regards to the side characters on End - he spent a lot of time developing them in the first book and then just ... left them behind as an afterthought. Still, overall a decent light scifi series.
Moderate: Confinement, Cursing, Death, Violence, Kidnapping, Grief, and Murder
