My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Loved this -now half way through the second book. Feels as if Martine, like Asimov a long time before, might have had a good read of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire and applied some of this to an immense space Empire facing inner and outer threats and the people caught up in this maelstrom. The main characters were to me believable and... human, rather than just plot-advancing devices. As I said, half way through the second book I'm enjoying being in that world.
