Foundry SIde, Shorefall ( in progress ) and Locklands to come

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

It was not really readable. People doing endless office or programming jobs all day might get something out of it.

Back to my other AI book. The anti-AI nook. Extractive is a word used in every chapter.
