   The first book has already been published. Many people are hoping for the second one. The third book has a plot and outline, and is emotionally engaging; those who like ensemble casts might enjoy it—it's quite profound. The fourth book, in my opinion, has a very captivating plot; everyone is highly intelligent—there aren't any idiots. It's a plot-driven book, and I expect the author will fill in the plot holes later, as they created many in the beginning. We'll see how they do it. Overall, it's a good read.
