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

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.

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

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