I’ve read the first two books and enjoyed them both. I enjoyed the TV series. But I see there are nine novels and eight novellas in the series, and I know the book series goes on longer than the TV series. I’m curious: is the quality fairly consistent or, like a lot of longer book series, does it degrade over time?

Edit: Thanks everyone! Sounds like the vast majority of folks enjoyed all of the books - enough that I’ll probably read them all. I have other books on my reading list, so I might take breaks and read some of those in between.

I really appreciate all the responses. Thank you all. Upvotes all around!

    I’m with you on your unpopular opinion.

    The third book is a grind to finish. I say that because I’m grinding to finish it. I plan to start #4, hoping the writers learn from their experience and bring back compelling storytelling.

      It doesn’t get better. The rest of the series, bar the novellas, is a slog. It took me several months, around fifteen other books, and a vacation to get through the whole series.
