Receptionedit
Orson Scott Card praised the trilogy as "fiction that satisfies as much at the story level a it does at the idea level," citing Kube-McDowell's "ability to deal with human beings as political animals."[2]
J. Michael Caparula reviewed Empery in Space Gamer/Fantasy Gamer No. 80.[3] Caparula commented that "Kube-McDowell demonstrates how easily well-meaning representative councils can rapidly degenerate into military bureaucracies. I highly recommend this series."[3]
