adventurous mysterious fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.0

Brin has a lot of technical know-how and science fiction leans to his talents, but this first book left me somewhat cold. Dated in weird ways, but also the obvious offenders (misogyny, problematic), the implications of empire are unintentionally drawn out in this first volume. I want to see where this could go, but this wasn't a stirring first volume.
