One of seven books spanning 500 years, this first one leisurely sets up the universe. It isn't particularly exciting to be honest, but the worlds and premise are. A good portion of this book feels like I'm sitting in on a shareholders board meeting, as it involves quite a bit of men in overly verbose discussion attempting to be smarter than each other. The descriptions were fairly light, sometimes I forgot exactly where all this arguing was taking place. I am compelled to read at least two more of the books before I pass any final judgement.
