The series gets better don't stop at the first book.
- jnovek 3y agoFYI, the first half of the second book is very slow and somewhat cringe at times. You just have to plow through because the back-half of the second book + the third book are a wild ride that's totally worth it.
- irowe 3y agoI'd agree that the second book has the highest cringe per page. The Luo Ji character was laughably bad.
- bigstrat2003 3y agoI definitely feel like the series gets worse as it goes on. The first book is incredible though, so it's hard to really go up from there. IMO the first book in that series deserves every bit of accolade it gets and then some.
- lmm 3y agoThe first book is what, 500 pages? That's too much time to spend reading crap. I was ready to give up about a third of the way through but people told me it got better so I carried on (and I foolishly assumed there must be some reason it run the Hugo). It did not get better.
