Yeah, I gave up after book 3. So much blah blah blah and nothing of substance being said. It went from fun space zombie insanity to boring political "thriller" in the blink of an eye. I hear book 4 was even worse.

I still haven't seen the show.

    I like the complexity, the many layers are the lure. Like GoT with the mysterious threat beyond the wall. This is a sci fi version of GoT, system politics and fighting alongside this mysterious alien shit unfolding in the system. Except for the part where it’s completed.

    Book 4 was meh, but the next two make up for it. They do a good job crawling inside Naomi’s head, what it was like for her, being abused by a Cluster B personality disorder in her old life.

    Amos has a good run as well.

    There’s always audiobooks. Jefferson Mays narrates and he is quite good.
