>>/34654/ So I finished all the books published until now. On average they were ok. The story base is solid, but they ruin it with with boring fillers which does not add to the story and just mildly to the characters (in the 8th book they still shoveling more coloring info on heroes the reader get to know in the first one for example - "ok he/she is like this or that can we get move on with the story finally?!"), and with heavy handed stronk woman forcing. They ride this trend in American popular media that these types have to be everywhere, and in these books men feels like children and only women as if they were the only adults around. Men depicted emotional and confused while women rational and reasonable and not one of them bleeds from her vagina ever. And somehow all the important positions in institutions somehow women get, and they do it right, men always mismanage them. I guess this comes with the shift in the target audience, books have to be sold, they have to make profit and women being better consumers and the book isn't really for the sci-fi fanatics, but it's a soap opera in novel format. Other details. Hmm. Many Hungarian words and names, relatively at least. One group of people, the Belters, who live in the asteroid belt created a new culture, and they speak "Belter creole", an amalgamation of many languages. I recognized German and Spanish words, fairly lot in their speak which often were thrown in to set the ambience. Beside that compared to their proportion Hungarian seemed over-represented, not complaining nice thing to read, but curious. Maybe the authors liked the Woken Furies with its many Hungarian names, toponyms. They also try to stay within the physical, gravitational realities of space, action-reaction balance, vectors, orbits, speed of light, communication lags and such. Ofc as the time advances - with decades - they add more gadget X's and technobabbles. Some techs on the other hand are so 2010s, like everyone has a device very much reminding to smart phones - well that's what the readers know as high tech, that's what they get. Supposedly one novel is still on it's way. Probably will read it just to finish the whole story. Do I recommend it for Bernd, probably not, some would definitely rage about that woman thing - it bugged me, they would flatline for that - others would find the whole thing plain stupid. Maybe to some.
