I mean, by way of contrast I found it pretty enjoyable as slightly enormously-plot-hole-y fluff! Though it's admittedly More Heterosexuals All The Time than I usually read in that category. The pointless crowd icebreaker I was willing to forgive for the sake of She Was Literally There To Do Crowd Control, Maybe It's The Crowd Control Outfit; I do keep wanting explanations of How The Gerrymandering Works but wasn't entirely unconvinced by the party system; I will note that my summary of the second one is "it’s very heterosexuals and the character whose paranoia is their USP is mysteriously not spotting the obvious Big Bad?" so it's not like it gets better, particularly, but the third one is called State Tectonics so I am, like, contractually obligated to read it just for the title.

I am broadly happy to have consumed these as Easy Reads, because it is at least worldbuilding I'm contented to sleepily poke holes in, but it is not necessarily... deeply edifying. ;)
