Someone please travel in time and tell Isaac Asimov that he should stick to writing robots instead of

straight romances.

Also.

the U.S. Constitution? Really? Are you going to take *that* as a basis to create "a better intergalactic system"?

The book is clearly a reflection of its time, and (to some extent) should be judged accordingly.

The plot was good, pretty good ideas there, but the execution wasn't the best. Too many plot twists at the end, which made it hard to 1. believe them and 2. keep track of everything during the last parts of the book.

The characters? I don't think any of them is salvageable, but

the Autarch. He felt more complex than the others, his motivations made sense to some extent

, but other than that I couldn't bring myself to care about anyone in this book. Biron deserves the record of the character I've disliked quicker in my reading experience. I was on page 2 and I already found him annoying.

Not the best reading, but not the worst either.
