There's a lot of "people making ethically problematic decisions for the Greater Good" that I don't especially love, but, hey, it's part of the genre, and most of the characters are reasonably self-aware about it at least. Some good stuff about colonialism, but Chandra is so cartoonishly evil that the book doesn't really feel like it has a lot of nuance.
