This trilogy focuses on cultural misunderstanding in extreme cultural difference. Similarly, there is an exploration of consent as a theme (as well as a potentially dated view of consent).simareading's review against another edition

I appreciate the character descriptions and the inclusion of both human and alien racial diversity.
And the entire society that Bulter created is impressive! I had to refer to a wiki to remind myself of who’s who.
I would not endure reading it again but it was altogether fascinating.
