Listened to book 1 which was good. Was very excited for 2 and 3, book 2 and 3 are awful imo.

Good deal, thank for posting!

However, I felt like this book was overhyped. If you want to save some money and this has been on your list - go for it. But, if your time is limited like mine (work, kids, etc), I'd read the greats (Foundation, Hyperion, Dune, etc) before spending time on this series.

Yup. I've read first two and they're fantastic. Will read the second two after I finish my current series.

This is one of the best sci-fi books I've ever read. Loads better than the tv show but the tv show is decent as well.

Huh, I didn't even consider this one "good."
All of these are much, much better: Dune (first 4), Expanse series, Empire of Silence (sun eater series), Red Rising series, anything by Michael Crichton. Some of those trend more towards a mix of fantasy/sci-fi
