I’ve very rarely given a whole series 5 stars, but every single one of these books is phenomenal. The pacing is incredible, it remains riveting without skipping over exposition or small moments. The switches between POVs and tenses keeps every chapter so fresh, and none of the storylines falter. All of the worldbuilding is so fresh and spaced out so well, it never feels like lore is being dumped on you in unmanageable chunks. Truly just a masterpiece series.
