review 1: Alrighty, started this one instead of the first book because this was more highly rated. But, I'm sorry if I'm too harsh on this, I draw the line at any book that wastes about 10 pages on "what has come before." I mean, seriously? We have to be dragged through 10 characters, 5 worlds, many spaceships to get to the Prologue? Any good writer would make that a moot point through the storytelling. So, yeah, not gonna read this one.
review 2: After reading Seeds of Earth I stated that the first third was too slow, and the last third too rushed. But that as I had started the series now, that I would persevere with the second and third book, as I want to know how the story ends.The Orphaned Worlds pace was more even, the cast of characters developed more depth, but I
... more continued to find them annoyingly stereotypical.The continued development of the story, by telling it from a different persons view point in each chapter, although better paced in this book still took too long. But no doubt that is the price that one pays when one sets out to write a three book series, where two would have perhaps enhanced the readers' experience.That said, I intend to persevere and read the third book in the series. less

An average sci-fi read. Middle on the funometer.
