The new direction isn’t something I’m super excited about. The first part especially, with the retelling of WW2 in this universe. I just do not care at all about war/military fiction generally, but then WW2 as well. I’ve had enough of it.

The second part was better. A futuristic version of the universe we know. The narrative tension is fine, not great. Eventually a let down when you get to a certain part. But the finale rekindled some momentum. Because I have my brothers copy of the oversized edition of the next one, I’ll continue on. Otherwise I probably wouldn’t.
