Really enjoyed reading this series! To be honest, I was a bit lost throughout the 1st book but by the 3rd book, I was understanding the universe that Rajaniemi had created. My main criticisms are that (1) it would have been helpful to have a glossary in each book as especially with the 1st book, I struggled to understand some of the terminology he used and (2) his character building/story telling is a bit weak.

I'm not sure if I am too harsh when giving this book only 3 stars. There were elements that I really liked. Generally, the setting was really interesting, and stock full of original concepts - though perhaps more or less plausible. Jean le Flambeur is basically a heist story. The main character seems to be inspired by the classical French gentleman thief, Arséne Lupin.

A lot of shifting forms, perspectives, inner stories and reversals which made me loose track and motivation several times.

Top 1-3 tales I've ever read. Cannot recommend enough.

Perhaps my favourite sci-fi trilogy. It's written in a show-don't-tell style, which means you need to pay more attention than usual, which is pretty fun. I particularly enjoy the hard sci-fi style, and the attempts to stay within the laws of physics.
