    Going from book 3 to 4 is a fun and wild jump, although I don’t recall reading much past 4 if at all. Might be time for a re-read, haven’t read past book 2 since high school.

    How is the series after book 4?

      It’s not as good, because Frank was getting on in years at that point and it doesn’t have a payoff like the first three books had with God Emperor; he died before writing the final book, so it kind of builds up to nothing. To be honest I doubt this 7th book would have been nearly as good as God Emperor anyways, so maybe it’s for the best this way.

      Really really bad.

      Maybe not really really bad… but if you stopped you’d be missing nothing.

        as long as you don’t read the books after he died, books 1-6, you’re fine. Unless you can’t stand unfinished stories, then pretend that the series ended with book 4, look no further or suffer
