For quite a while I was completely enthralled with it. Unfortunately, right about the time I wrote my article, I began to realize (much against my will) that they were just piling "cool mysteries" on about the world and had no intention of explaining anything. I think your point is well taken: it's an anti-war polemic and as a result, the world-building took a back seat to the message. Which is a damned shame, because by the point that the whole thing came apart, I'd really begun to root for Choir Tempest. I wrote about this series back when it was being fansubbed.
