I just finished the series I loved how the first two books dealt with religion and philosophy, particularly how the AIs even had their own religions and factions.

I felt like Endymion/Rise of Endymion went off the rails a bit trying to explain things that didn’t need explaining while not doing as well explaining key concepts and themes (the Tree of Pain, adding just bits and pieces about the Shrike).

Also, I’ve read enough on flying carpets. The yee kindly.
