There is all kinds of really interesting political statements being made subtly throughout this series, and I have finished both book one and book two, and I just haven't gotten to book three, even though book three is over there on my shelf.
Null States (2017)
But I enjoyed the ideas a lot. I think it always sticks the ending, like the endings of these books have always been great. And since I'm an endings person, that's what I remember.

I think part of the reason why I didn't get as much out of the first two books despite enjoying them is because I was reading them as yarks on my phone back in the day and I had to read them in a rush because the e arcs expired
