Reread. The SF bits are good, but actually it's the characters and what happens with them that I care most about. ♥ And KSR is such a good nature writer, too. I do not actually believe in the speed of the terraforming, even with all the scientific detail. But it would be nice to think so, and I am happy to suspend disbelief.
Apparently this will be a TV series soon? *boggles* I will be almost afraid to watch it, I think, because how much I have my own images of the characters.

Reread. I find that I like this last book least, I think because it feels like several quests patched together, compared to the previous books which had one each. So it's less of a whole story. And I find the ending both satisfying and not (which is of course why all the fix-it fic, heh). But I do like Merriman's speech at the end about the world being in the hands of ordinary humans now.
I am happy to say that I feel enthusiastic about Yuletide this year after skipping it last year--I think I'm going to request both of these canons, actually.
