Fantastic novels. Skip the redemption of time though. It’s terrible

I’ve only read the first one and found my enjoyment varying a lot. Sometimes there were great ideas and sometimes the pacing is too slow for me. Might pick up the second book sometime

I listened to the first two on audio book. I’m in the same boat as you, where I thought they were good, and pretty thought provoking, but very bleak, and almost propagandistic, I can’t really explain it though

I didn’t enjoy the first one that much, but devoured the next two. I still think about the second book often.

Loved that series. But very bleak view of the universe. I loved it in the end.
