I gave up on Science Fiction two decades ago.

Lots of fun..., a better addiction than Meth, Heroine, Alcohol, or TV, but no where near as good as real history.

I read some of the reviews of the series.

It sounds like a series I would enjoy reading.

I doubt I am willing to expend the 40 or 50 hours I would have to give up, to read the series.

Fascinating that a Chinese book in translation would do so well.

Most of the panning of the book harps about character development.

What most modern critics call "character development" is all about obscure naval gazing by people who have a hard time making a decision.
