Is it too hardcore? People seem to prefer softcore fairytale p0rn (hence... fourth wing dragon saga's)?

That could be it. It is pretty hardcore sci-fi, not an easy level of reading. But idk. I thought the void trilogy from him was much more intense, also great

@heartland1987.bsky.social have you read that one? I don't know anyone who has, it's pretty obscure

I read the books leading up to it (i think?), Judas Unchained and Pandora's Star, but not the Void trilogy itself. Worth it?

I think so yes. Faster than those previous two, and lots of characters transfer. Probably his "weirdest" series.

I immediately thought of buying them right away (thank you intrusive thoughts) and rereading the others first... And then I remembered I just bought 8 more books .

Will you! Do you think the reread is needed? Otherwise it may be a while before I report back in!

Nope! They're not THAT connected, just a few overlapping characters that don't require much backstory. It does a great job introducing them.
