I very much enjoyed this series, and Simon Vance is a great narrator. There are a few points where Weeks would get into the weeds of a characters thoughts which, at times was great - informative, insightful, thought-provoking - and other times just a bit tedious and long when you're waiting for something big to happen. It could have been rather shorter if he hadn't done the same thing in all the epilogues as well (there, it was mostly on the tedious side). Wrapped up the series well, didn't leave any gaping holes for the reader to speculate at (again, see the tedious epilogues), and even gives completionist readers an extra tidbit at the very, very end. Keep reading my friends!
