I loved some parts of this book, and admire the enormous scale of time and space it takes place in.
My favourite parts focused on the building and terraforming that was taking place, and following the smaller groups as part of their adventures. Much of the book was taken up with political manipulations and that left me feeling confused. Robinson seems to know a lot about the wide variety and history of political structures around the world, and it would have been nice if he could have explained them more thoroughly, instead of showing off his knowledge while leaving the naive no better off.
I do plan to read the rest of the series, but I need a break in between.
