A review by johnwatne
The Ringworld Throne by Larry Niven

Did not finish book.

1.0

DNF after getting through first 30 pages. Too many polysyllabic, unpronounceable character names in too few pages to keep them straight. Everything thrown at the reader as if they are in the middle of the book, rather than the beginning, assuming familiarity with characters and terminology the author didn’t introduce with any background. Given that it had been several years since I read the last novel in the series, I didn’t remember the characters or terms that carried over. Given the comments I saw in prior one star reviews, and that they matched the feeling I was getting after just starting the book, I thought it best to go on to something more promising on my lengthy “to read” list.
