[edit]The below section has no source, and appears to be someone's personal opinion:
- Literary Comment
- As an entry into the steam punk genre, there are several interesting characteristics of this series. The first is the building of an entirely human powered computer used to calculate probabilities in battle. The second is that it is an externally enforced technology limitation, and in the later books the machine enforcing the limitation becomes a more direct part of the plot. Electronics can be shielded from its sensors, and in the end of the series, the machine reaches an accommodation with humanity, paving the way (presumably) for future generations to return to more sophisticated technology. Many readers[who?] were put off by The Eyes of the Calculor because the former hero warden-killer had become the villain. Glasken became a woman which was also controversial.[citation needed]
