The story was good up until the last book. The extreme caricatures of political ideology portrayed rendered the final part of this box set unreadable. This is the first and only book I have ever requested a refund for. This series set high expectations during the first two books, then tanked.
As long as this review is posted, consider it the single most compelling and undeniable piece of evidence demonstrating time travel isn’t possible, as the first thing I will do is go back and prevent myself from wasting any iota of my life reading this series.
