The first book was an enjoyable read, but very, very, derivative. Mainly of his own well-worn past themes: wormhole-based interstellar human expansion; built-in digital "butlers", seemingly benign (but equally powerful and ominous) alien races; life-extending technology, etc... . But also very reminiscent of Dan Simmons' first Hyperion novel. Mostly due to both employing a Canterbury Tales-esque format.
I just have to decide if I'm up for investing in what amounts to a re-skinning of his Commonwealth universe tropes.
