I've effortposted about Sun Eater before. Most common criticisms are true
>book 1 is genre redundant
>books 2-5 have fairly interesting Mass Effect inspired Human VS Alien Menace narrative
>book 3 and 4 very strong
>bokks 6 and 7 jump shark into religious themes, which is fine, but redundant writing and overly insistent and conveinant solutions
>Hadrian's melodramatic ego is fun until it's not
>only good characters are Hade, Khan Sugara, Siriani Doreika, and Bassander Lin
>Chris Rocc can't write women the daughter and wife characters are INSUFFERABLE and truly exist as checkboxes for women strong... women capable!!...
