I just finished the final book of Saga of Seven Suns. When you read series books it is always a hit or miss. Or at least for me it is like that. Sometimes they are great and you cannot wait to pick up the next one, or they are horrible and you just feel the obligation to finish it. Sometimes the series just gets old…much like the Anita Blake series did after something like book number 15 or so. Saga of Seven Suns is nothing like that. The series is amazing. It is a scifi series based in the future when the human race has expanded their power into the Spiral Arm which is part of the Milky Way. The human race has since evolved into 3 main groups. The Terran Hanseatic League aka the Hansa, which is run by an evil, manipulative Chairman named Basil Wenceslas, The Roamers who clans of families (gypsies) who roam around the spiral arm and have created their own government, and the Theroc who live on a the plant of Worldtrees and is the home planet of the “green priests” who have the ability to communicate to one another through the trees. I have been reading this series for about 6-7 months and have written a few other blogs about it already. So this blog is not a re-cap of all 7 books, just a review on my conclusion. If you want to learn more about each book in particular feel free to read my other blogs:
Hidden Empire: Saga of Seven Suns
Saga of Seven Suns Book 2 A Forest of Stars
The Saga of Seven Suns Continues
These blogs just look at the first 3-4 books, it was then that I just went through them so quickly and so much was going on that I decided just to wait until I had finished it to continue writing.
First, or Second, not really sure what, I want to say that this series was AMAZING! I couldn’t wait to start reading it again, I wish I could have just wasted a weekend reading cover to cover, but unfortunately I don’t seem to find the “free” days to do that anymore. These books made me laugh, cry, want to scream, you name it. It pulled every emotion that I had. I got angry and happy and sad. The last half of the last book had me sitting on the edge of my seat so to speak. So many twists and turns!
If you enjoy reading, and you like Sci-Fi, this series should be on your list. Heck, even if you are not a big fan of Sci-Fi, you should still read it. If you like love stories, there is a love story in here. If you like war stories, there is a war in here. If you like action, there is action in here. If you like mystery, there is mystery in here. You name it, you can find it!
I have recommended this to all of my friends that are as passionate about reading as I am, to pick this series up. And they will because I recommended The Tale of the Otori (another amazing trilogy!!!) too them and they both loved it.
So overall, I would not only rate on of the books with 8 out of 10 stars, but the whole series!!!
