I read the century trilogy last summer, and I have many thoughts about it.

I will say this only, I think the fall of giants was an excellent novel, however, winter of the world and edge of eternity both dropped the ball, and the trilogy ended on a low point compared to how it began.

Does anyone agree or disagree? I would love to hear what other people thought.

    i feel you, the fall of giants was solid, but winter of the world and edge of eternity just didn’t hit the mark for me. the series definitely ended on a weaker note. anyone else feel the same or have a different take?

    I was recommended this book by a friend who said it was his favourite series. I completely agree the first one was entertaining and had characters I enjoyed. The other two were disappointing and more disappointing respectively. I guess in some cases for a book series, it is easier to start fires than to keep them going.

    Yeah. The first book was solid, but the others were sloppy. The second book was mediocre, and the third felt unwieldy. It was just about tying up loose ends, and they didn’t all get knotted properly.
