	CITY OF PEARL gave me the impression that the author is a lefty
treehugger who defaults to seeing humans as a pestilence on the universe.

	STAR WARS is a lot more interesting if its written from the POV
of someone who doesn't instinctively think aristocracies are a good thing
and who can see the downside of how robots and clone-soldiers are treated.
