Larry Niven seems to have some fascinating ideas of the future and his alien cultures are truly unique, however I just don't vibe with his characters and plots. They are well crafted, though, creating a sense of adventures while also including a lot of mundane moments of world building and every day life. The main characters are the typical science fiction protagonists of the time with not much to endear them to me or make them stand out and the stories are often about some kind of scamming and hostility. Like I said, I like a lot of the ideas presented but not a lot of the actions will stick with me. While for a lot of readers it would probably be nice to have recurring characters, for me it didn't help if someone appeared that I already knew I wasn't invested in. I still enjoyed the future and universe Niven presented here a lot, but I won't continue in the series.
