review 1: An interesting concept with very vivid and imaginative world building. While the arena was fascinating, I had a hard time getting through the book in parts due to the limited amount of action. I found it a little slow going in parts and had to struggle to keep going. The characters were interesting but I had a hard time imagining them as real people. The two main male protagonists seemed older than their ages and their wooing of the main character seemed awkward. I did like the main character and had hoped for a little more excitement for her.
review 2: Not sure I'm going to bother finishing this. Not very far in but it doesn't seem like the kind of science fiction I like. I like the sort where the author has deep thoughts and insights about humanity and s... moreociety and chooses science fiction as a template to showcase how they work. This seems to be the kind where the characters and plot exist mostly to showcase the wow-holycrap-cool technology the author thought up. Which has little pizzazz for me as I do not understand or care about any non-biological sciences and them only a little. Blah. Of course Heinlein could make me read about ballistics and like it. less
