A Brief Review of Robert Jackson Bennett's Founders Trilogy (Foundryside, Shorefall, Locklands)
The bottom line up front: I thought that this was a great series, but only if readers are willing to tolerate very significant tonal shifts from each book to the next. I thought that the writing quality improved significantly from book to book, as did the author's engagement with the central ethical themes of the trilogy. I'd give the series a 4/5. I felt as though this series had many similar plot beats and themes to Mistborn (a series which I'm personally lukewarm on, although I liked it when I first read it), and fans of that series should definitely read the Founders series
