I really liked most of the series, but I didn't finish three of the later ones. That's up to my preferences, for example I didn't like Dune or Children of Time.
To each their own!
I recently read Dune Messiah and want to read the rest of the series. I started Children of Dune but paused to start the culture series.
What series of books do you like that you’ve finished?
Well, I read a lot, I guess more than one book a week on average. Series I liked, recent sci-fi: the Bobiverse by Denis E. Taylor, old man's war by John Scalzi, murderbot by Martha Wells (too bad it's mostly novella's) and John Scalzi's Interdependency trilogy. Older sci-fi: Foundation series by Asimov, Lazarus Long books by Heinlein and Stainless steel rat by Harry Harrison. Basically stuff where the sci doesn't get in the way of the fi.
I actually just read book 1 of Murderbot — I liked it and will read more. I liked the ending. John Scalzi has been on my list. I read Foundation and liked it — I def want to read more books in that series as well. Of the others you mentioned, which would you recommend the most?
I would recommend the Bobiverse first, old man's war second.
