A simple list: (Of this reader's preferences and biases against Misery Sad Sack Sci Fi)
- A powerful new voice in X genre!
- I Identify with these Characters!
- X Y Z-American Voice!
- Review mentions: This story narrates X Y Z struggle so well!
- Social-Political Commentary of the Current Age!
- Its like Watchmen but with X Y or Z!
- These Villains are so relatable! GOSH!
- Mankind fucked the Earth, GLOBAL WARMING!
- Character: Gay/Lesbian/Trans/Bi ect. Thats it. Thats the whole Arc.
- Star Trek but Gayer, Or XYZ but Gayer! Who cares? Give me characters. Not talking points. Make me care about what they stand for, not who they sleep with. Because nowadays most "fantastical" fiction cares about that above everything else. Give me a reason to actually care about the story first and foremost.
This series is better then the Kutherian Gambit series. Not as bloated too.
