"The series drags pretty horribly at some points, but that is part of it's brilliance; the realism. Over all I really enjoyed this and learned how dynamic a fiction novel could be and by book 2-9 really cared about what happened to the characters. This is difficult to do while setting up a math based alien world, making humans the invading species, developing a human that has to learn to adapt to their alien ways, and at first, believably become an enemy of his own species before society begins to realize that he is working towards a better future for everyone and doing a damn fine job. Throughout the series 1-9 I was constantly impressed with the imagination and skill demonstrated by Mrs. Cherryh, the skill of a master."
"You have to read the first eight books in the series to understand what is going on in this book, so it's not one to jump into. I loved the first three books in the series; the second three were also good, though I disliked some of the developments. The seventh was rollicking good fun, and I'm enjoying this one so far, though I was disappointed Cherryh chose to write from the perspective of one of the aliens. Until that point, the aliens, which all too humanoid, were still different enough and unique enough in their thought patterns as understood by humans to feel truly alien. With one of them attaining a voice, though, their motivations and thought patterns take on an all too human form. Would have been better and more appealing to leave them voiceless, at least as narrators."
"The latest book in the series returns the story back to the Atevi culture, pretty much abandoning the last books expansion out into space and the meeting of a new species. Wanted more of this new plotline developed, and not so much "more of the same" regression to the first 3 books' type of plotting."
