“Generally the book was good and entertaining, but the quality wanes from the earlier books in this series.”

“Having really enjoyed Ringworld and Ringworld Engineers, I was surprised by how disappointing this book was. I had to force myself through the first half of the book in the hopes that it would deliver in the end. While the ending was satisfying, it wasn't enough to make me recommend the book to anyone.

Also: I know this is sounds ridiculous, but the cover art drove me nuts. There clearly were not any structures that took up fully half the width of the Ringworld.”“Not to be missed. ”

“1. dedicated to Heinlein, how cute; 2. no wonder I was confused during the first chapter of Ringworld's Children when they talked about Bram, "Throne" comes before "Children"; 3. the vampire scent thing makes me wonder if Stephenie Meyer ever read Niven; 4. I totally didn't get the "Bram" connection until partway through -.-;;”

“Truly, it was a great disappointment to read this after "Ringworld Engineers." This 3rd novel in the Ringworld series is dull as dirt, and spends too much time focusing on "vampires" and orgies. It seems that Niven was able to cash-in on the success of his previous Ringwrold novels, because as a stand-alone story this one would be a total bomb.

I really wanted to like this story, but I couldn't. It's not the worst book I've ever read, but that's the most positive thing I can say about it.”
“Set in his "known space" universe. A fantastic series by one of the master writer's of SiFi.”
