I can’t believe I am writing this, but I thought this was a bit anti-climatic as an ending to the Cyteen trilogy. I know that’s an odd thing to say because the story does build to a big climax, but so many questions are either left unanswered or I am unable to ferret out the answers.

I understand that the author added a fourth book, [b:Regenesis|3689197|Regenesis (Cyteen, #4)|C.J. Cherryh|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1316469120l/3689197._SY75_.jpg|8754115] some years later, so maybe that will bring more resolution to the lingering issues.
Ari Emory is not quite an adult, legally, yet she is superbly capable to take over Reseune Corporate as Administrator. However, someone wants to remove her from consideration of that high office...permanently. This is a very good continuation and finale of the Cyteen trilogy. An intriguing, fascinating, and extremely entertaining read.
This is the final book in the Cyteen trilogy (proceeded by Cyteen: The Betrayal and Cyteen: The Rebirth). This book is good in that it avoids much of the politics that mired the first book. Additionally, its nice to see Ari2 and Justin resolve some of their differences, even if its from a position of mutual distrust. The series doesn't really resolve the problem of Ari's research, but I assume that theme is covered more in later books.

Couldn't get past p. 50 of Cyteen 1
En CYTEEN se dan cita temas trascendentales: la ingeniería genética, la clonación y los problemas psicológicos que plantea, el papel de la herencia y la educación en la maduración de una personalidad inteligente, y la brillante especulación de cómo los mecanismos de la psicogénesis individual y la manipulación psicológica desembocan inevitablemente en la sociogénesis de la historia. Una obra de gran ambición que satisface plenamente.
