Some time ago I had a friend recommend some science fiction novels, something new and interesting to read. So I bought Leviathan, the revival by James SA Corey and Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie. They are two different stories, Leckie's in my opinion more original and also innovative in science fiction, at least compared to everything I have read so far. James Corey doesn't exist, it's the pseudonym that includes Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck. The beginning of Ancillary Justice immediately grabbed me, the story then slowed down a bit due to the alternation between present story and flashback, but then it fascinated me again.
However, I had problems imagining most of the characters, because no distinction is made between men and women - I won't explain why, otherwise I would be giving too many spoilers and also because I understood Special Data almost nothing about it. Corey's story, on the other hand, is more classic, the science fiction adventure that I've always liked. A TV series was also born from this story. In short, I was satisfied with these two readings and, knowing that they would have sequels, I waited for the moment to buy them. Leckie has written a trilogy, while Corey's novels seem to reach 9.
I remember saying enough to sagas and trilogies , but then I read Veronica Roth's Divergent trilogy and Lois Lowry's tetralogy that began with The Giver (a must read, in my opinion). I would also like to start Ken Follet's soon by reading The Fall of Giants . The subtle difference between sequel and fragmentation Veronica Roth's trilogy seems to me to be a fragmented piece: a novel which, with appropriate and healthy cuts, could have been published in a single volume. Lowry's tetralogy, however, is very valid. These are 4 different novels, they are real sequels, which carry on unique stories. Of the Divergent trilogy , only the first novel is interesting, then my interest waned, so much so that I don't even remember the 2nd and 3rd novels.
