Title: very preachy
Review: I thouroughly enjoyed the "Mars" triology. The character development, the interplay between characters with different viewpoints and differing goals, all set in a sci-fi backdrop.Too bad there isn't any of that here. The entire novel seems to preach about a socially liberal fantasy world. I just can't tell if it is a nightmare or Utopia.In the end I just didn't care about any of the characters or the situations they were in. Even though most of the book, as the first of a trilogy, is given to character development I still couldn't connect with them. Maybe this should be called caricature deveolpment instead.I might check out the second book from the library, but I won't buy it.
