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!
Every chapter focuses on one main character and each main character’s chapters are written by a different author. So one author writes all chapters titled “Naomi”, another one writes all chapters titled “Holden” and so on.
Once you know that, it becomes glaringly obvious while reading.
The thing you noticed, with each chapter being identical in length, is probably due to an agreement to give each author equal space in the novels.
Yep, that jogs my memory about the different chapters. And that’s a better theory on chapter length, thanks. I think that is the same problem, though: a non-diagetic agreement to format it a certain way, resulting in filler and awkward pacing.
