Great story, great narrator - easily one of my favourites. Loved it. Read it years ago and listened now

Fantastic ending to an amazing saga

I enjoyed the first book in the series, Titan. The sexuality of the lead characters was just part of the story, and didn't get in the way of (to my enjoyment) the science fiction.
This second book is bizarre in focusing on the sexuality of lead characters, aliens and by-standers - and to my mind it obscures the plot - I can't see where the book is leading.

sexuality became the story, rather than a part
