Review title: Simple-minded characters, needless detail, badly edited
Product review: The Saga of Seven Suns series starts off with a the bold promise of delivering an epic space opera but instead delivers a meandering plot bogged down with pointless descriptions. The series was a gift...I would never have read beyond the first book otherwise. It is tolerable of you skim or skip over chapters. Through the many predictable plot twists and turns, Anderson creates unrealistically dumb characters. Anderson fails to make their various errors believable and instead invests too heavily in over-detailed descriptions of the setting. This series is also the victim of poor editing. The entire story could have been effectively told in three books instead of seven...the rest is pointless fluff and tedious plot manipulation. A tighter story would have been more entertaining and gripping (though perhaps less profitable with fewer books to sell). I will be very cautious about purchasing from this author again.
