Very good review... I entirely agree with you: Axis is not as strong as Spin neither in the ideas themselves, nor in the narrative and even less in the construction of characters... The only character that seemed at all interesting was the Martian Fourth, Sulean Moi. Hey!

Of course I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who hasn't read Spin. But I'm constantly recommending Spin anyway, now I just say "Spin and Axis... AND KEEP AND EYE OUT FOR VORTEX" The ideas put forth are more of what I'm interested in. RCW, while being an accomplished writer, doesn’t write character I get attached to. I felt that way in the Spin and I feel that way about Axis. But it isn't holding the books back because you shouldn't read his books to hear about his characters. I barely care about them at all. It's just medium for me to learn about RCW God idea. Which is very friggin cool. Read these books. I just finished the book.
