Cherryh's world-building in this trilogy is amazing, and the overarching plot of a dying civilization attempting to rebuild itself by finding its near-mythical roots -- is certainly compelling enough to carry the 700+ pages of the narrative. But ⦠the pace is glacial, and huge swaths of the novel are so understated as to be nearly opaque.
