No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
No
Didn't age poorly, but I did get tired of the "no atheists in foxholes" attitude. It was interesting to have a first contact books ending with humans losing. That was very different for the time. And there were some beautiful human stories along the way. I'll definitely read the 2nd book. The sexism is the built-in cultural type of almost no women in main roles or as highly educated/in power.
Graphic: Cancer, Confinement, Genocide, Terminal illness, Xenophobia
Moderate: Sexism
Minor: Death, Death of parent
