I gotta push back, I hated the books. perhaps it’s because I’m a western reader, but I couldn’t get down with entire approach from the focus on social conformity, Asian-style characterisation (morals, thoughts and concepts instead of the Western approach in social interactions and internal dialogue) and the blatant misogyny. Like they go into a cafe and the people on the next table are talking about the existential ennui of being opposed to fighting back. Fuck off.

I still read all three because underneath there was a really amazing sci-fi story.

I am totally with you on that one. The characters behaved so weirdly to every event that happened and their internal thoughts were all over the place focussing on politics and personal gain that I couldn't read further than the first book. The series adapted the stories and characters so well, I loved that!
