Fantastic series. One of my absolute favorites. Everyone should try this.

Agreed. We're just waiting for the last book.

This book starts with a bang that really grabs you and then it keeps going. I'm still on the fence about the second trilogy. We'll see when the third book comes out. But I whole-heartedly recommend the first trilogy.

This first one was fine but nothing too amazing. The second and third book are amazing! It was a year between when I read book one and two. Then read book three immediately after. Highly recommend!

You've piqued my interest. Dune reading has been slow progress for me. May switch to this series.

Book 4 takes a while to get into since its 4 different POV but I think Book 5, Dark Age, is really good. Each book since the 1st pone has felt more...adult in theme so to speak. His writing just got better.

I do hope this gets an anime or mini series made of it, so much potential. The sons of ares audiobooks, while short, are pretty entertaining as well.

As other have said, first trilogy is great. Second one...was a rough one. It was like reading A Feast For Crows after A Storm of Swords so many years ago.

Yeah, how has this not been made into a TV show yet?? It's Hunger Games meets Game of Thrones set in space (but not crazy Sci-Fi). Shocked, as it would be perfect with all its twists and turns

Books 4/5 definitely are a little heavy but he's setting up a lot. I'd recommend pushing through for those that haven't. A lot of what was setup in Iron Gold came to fruition in Dark Age. I have faith Pierce will stick the landing though.

Read the first trilogy long time ago. It's was a great series and just the genre I love.

I was hyped for the fourth one when I came to know about it. But when the reviews came out, plenty of them were brutal. So I decided to wait it out. I'll let the series end and then decide based on reviews if the last 4 are worth reading.

Have been burned by poor endings in the past, where authors either get bored and end stuff abruptly without tying off all the loose ends, or they prolong a series beyond its welcome. Stretching a series to get more sales is sadly a common enough tactic. Whenever an author says - I had one book in mind for the end, but now it's going to be two books, it's rarely a good sign. You end up getting too much padding in the last books.

Anyway, I'm keeping my mind open. But will only read them if the final verdict after the series has finished seems positive.

For anyone getting this — The first trilogy is quite self contained. It finished the original story satisfactorily. The original trilogy did well so the author continued the story past the 'end'. And so you can presume you are committing yourself to just 3 books - not 7. There is no need to start the fourth one if the second series turns out to be not as good.
