Honestly, if you’re not in to the ‘cinematic’ writing style that the writers use that doesn’t change.
I personally like the imagery. I can see the Rosi and most of the people in it, in my head. They remind me of JK Rowling in that way., but your mileage way vary.
The second book is very much a redo of the first but better. Less tropey and the women are much better written. Chrisjen is such a great character.
The plots get changed up in three and four which is good so you might like them more but I can understand it’s no for everyone.
