What's the general consensus on the trilogy following Red Country? I've seen some bitching and moaning about it in a few places, but I didn't dig too deep into it because I trust randos on the internet far less than most goons.

Getting into the third act of Red Country right now. I get the feeling a lot of loose ends are gonna get tied up here. Really enjoying it.

It was good but also disappointing. Worth reading for a fan, but not nearly as good as the First Law trilogy or the standalones. The historical parallels get a bit messy and there's not enough of the magic/fantasy world bits (in my opinion). And I'm not sure how to put it, but it felt like he was putting the characters through lovely times without the same kind of satisfying payoffs that previous works had.

Like, if you've enjoyed reading up through Red Country, you will still enjoy the new trilogy.
