I forgot to make notes on the second book. The third was captivating but both the second and the third suffered from long stretches of times where the main characters are not really "known" by the reader in order to have a twist later on. It makes for some boring bits. When we do get back to the main characters it's great though

Finished the first book. Enjoyable but somewhat predictable. The fact that the main character is both the narrator and also withholds a lot of information so the book can have a twist did not help with relating to him. It didn't work for me. He's mostly whiney but occasionally he's tactically whiney so you know there's more to him. Still, the story was exciting if predictable so I'll read on because why not.
