But the story itself and the characters felt lacking. Every chapter, I came away wanting to discuss what I had read with someone else. In fact, it read as nothing quite so much as a philosophical thought experiment – and as one, it is fascinating: throughout the novel it keeps raising and exploring ethical questions through the medium of the narrative. This isn’t quite the Silmarillion, but I found myself reading this book increasingly as I might an academic text rather than a work of fiction. ![]() However, I almost feel that, such was the strength of Butler’s vision, that she allowed to take over to the detriment of everything else. What’s more, in every chapter of the novel, the reader discovers more about that world and we are gradually given the impression of a rich and ancient culture living parallel to our own.

By contrast, anyone can claim to value courage. It’s very difficult to claim you have a certain virtue, say courage, unless you have a track record of behaving courageously. ![]() What’s the difference? Well, values are essentially beliefs Anyone can claim to have them. By contrast, the ancient Greeks didn’t care much for what we call values. Our society today seems obsessed with values-just think about how many times you’ve heard the phrase “our shared values” or “that goes against our values.” Every club, company, corporation, political party, and religious institution today touts its own list of values up on their website. I remember thinking, wow, that simple phrase really sums up a key difference between ancient Greek and modern approaches to ethics. “Virtues are more important than values.” That line jumped out at me from an audiobook my wife was listening to the other day.

Is this series objectively better than some of the literary masterpieces I’ve read over the years? Probably not, yet I’d still rank it above most of those classics. I think everyone has books like that, though: the ones that seem as though they were written specifically for you, that speak to your interests and passions and contain worlds you can entirely lose yourself in.
