I've read the series twice over the years, so here's my summation:

First book: Excellent space opera loosely based on Canterbury Tales (pilgrims telling their stories as they travel). Cool universe building, interesting tales, ends on a cliffhanger.

Second book: Structure changes, but still a very good read. Mostly wraps everything up except for a few loose ends.

Third book: Mostly all new characters, but still continues the story. Not as good as the first two, but still an interesting read. I liked the main character and found the story interesting.

Fourth book: Okay, here it kinda falls apart. I think Simmons got lost in the weeds on this one. While the story itself is interesting, the narrative veers off into theological and philosophical tangents that - on my second read through - I skipped over. Like pages and pages of tangents. Also ends sort of lamely with a God in the Machine cop out.

Overall - Very good sci-fi series that drops off severely in the last half of the last book. But I still read it twice...your mileage may vary.

The only interesting part in the 4th book was the time-travel self-cuckoldry
