I'm currently ripping through The Memory of Earth, the first of the Homecoming books, and I haven't found a single thing to complain about. It's excellently written, has some great characters, and it is using a captivating character-based plot. The Oversoul reminds me of Karl Schroeder's Ventus (if you haven't read it, find it, as it is one of the most imaginative and clever books I've read in quite a while), and there isn't any flippant dismissal of the benefits of technology, which is a plus. Only on 170, though, so I can't speak fully for it, but I like what I see.
