This is the way. Any time I’m a pilot, it’s invented. Shooter, normal.

Yeah, I’d say things pick up pretty nicely in the next few books. I was driven by figuring out wth the ring’s point was and also wanted to know more about the protomolecule in general.

I found book 7 to be tough to get through. I’ve barely been able to put down book 8 though. I can’t wait for 9. I think everything up to book 8 was pretty solid with 8 (so far) being amazing. I’ve got ~100 pages left, so maybe that will change.
