* {{Sequelitis}}: The sequel ''Starquake'' is [[FanonDiscontinuity usually ignored]], both for its much bleaker tone that quickly causes a HappyEndingOverride before the book is even a quarter done, in which [[spoiler:the cheela are forced back into the Dark Ages for several millennia of subjective time, while the humans and offworlders can only look on helplessly]], but also because of [[ScienceMarchesOn science marching on]] in a bad way: we now know that starquakes are accompanied by massive gamma ray bursts that would sterilize any planet too close, so realistically, [[ShootTheShaggyDog all the humans and the offworld cheela should have died]]. Most discussions of this series, both on and off this wiki, completely ignore the events of the sequel.
