I remember enjoying it but not feeling the need to read the sequels.

Ouch! That’s kinda worse than giving up early. (For the books, not you.) 😋

no; it becomes better.

exciting from the jump—if you start w/ the second chapter of my free book, it's a fun escape heavily based on #redrisingseries

the first chapter is slower and orientation, so if you're bored, skip it. New app download just go read it. I'd love it if you subscribe to the newsletter. But you could also just click no thanks and read.

I couldn't get into it, either! Everyone rec'd it, but it was just not for me.

Yeah I got the rec from the Murder Bot series, which were sooo good and funny.

This one is clumsy and bland and oh so predictable from the get-go.

Preach. :)

It gets bigger in scale and more exciting but the writing style and tone stays much the same, as does the level of depth a nuance. I enjoyed the trilogy, but if you're that bored, I would leave it.

Then most likely it is time to put it away.
