" In Ringworld: Throne, we get a more in depth look at life on the Ringworld, and it's politics. The audiobookstore narration is engaging and fun, and moves the story along effortlessly. A great adaptation! "

" Disappointing third book in the Ringworld Series. Way too much focus on Rishathra and too many characters to realistically follow. "

" Rereading this book, it seems weaker than its siblings in the Ringworld series. Maybe it's because we spend so much time following characters that are only tenuously linked to what has gone before. Maybe it's because of the sudden pullback on the consequences of Engineers. Maybe it suffers from being the middle book, with very little change in the state of the protagonists from beginning to end. I enjoy this book, but it's definitely not the best in the series. "

" In order to enjoy this book you have to be really fascinated with the concept of having sex with (often vaguely) humanoid aliens, and I mean REALLY FASCINATED, because you are in for a couple hundred pages of characters getting it on with red-skinned dwarves and vampires. "

" By far the worst of the Ringworld novels. It's turgid and very hard to follow. If I recall correctly, Larry Niven admitted to be adicted to pain killer when he wrote this. "

" Not as good as Ringworld Engineers, to my mind. The story seemed to meander a bit, and once the real plotline hits, several characters with whom we have spent a lot of time just get dropped. "

" it's not a really good book, but i'm a fan of the other two ringworld books and Larry Niven's 'Known Universe' so I was suckered in. some interesting stuff happens, but the ending is quite unsatisfying. i could have been just fine not reading it. "

" I know Larry had to establish the depth of the various cultures on the Ringworld, but I felt much of it to be gratuitous and I almost stopped reading it. I'm glad I kept at it because I was satisfied with the ending. This was not nearly as good as the first 2 Ringworld books, imho... "
