I've now read Book 1, and I can understand why this story did not jump out to people as a 'rationalist story'. I'm not sure it really shows a special amount of rationality.
It's not a story that showcases rationality in a way that will introduce concepts to you and turn you into a rationalist (very few stories are or should be designed to do that). It's a story about a character who happens to be pretty rational and responds rationally to a new, strange situation. (This is surprisingly rare in fiction. And only slightly less rare in real life).
