Hey Bookworms! I know physical availability for this series has been an issue in the past. But you can consistently buy the trade paperbacks on Amazon as they are in automatic reprint mode now. You can get them here: amzn.to/48q1qdt No, sadly, you cannot get most of the series on hardcover anymore.

The Sun Eater Renaissance is awesome to witness. Bit of a rocky beginning(imo) but it's incredible how this series increases exponentially in quality. If you're starting this fresh, buckle up. Massive universe with one of the few well done First Person POVs ever and complex characters. I love this series so much.

One thing I told my brother that I found really cool is that suneater is like dune reversed, humanity has already scattered beyond the control of a single dictator(William) and the cielcin are the truly religious fanatics going out into the stars and cleansing them, and their leader once the tribes unite, is called the prophet😂 and their jihad is mainly against the sollan empire

These books have changed my life. They are the first books since wot that I felt so completely enthralled by. I read them in December, immediately reread them, and am struggling to get into anything else because my brain is so in Sun Eater. My best reading friend and husband have both read them since, so I thankfully have people to discuss them with. My husband even wrote me a Sun Eater themed love letter in my Valentine. ❤ I could drown in the lore of this world. They have made me laugh and sob. The writing is beautiful too.

Im really happy that I have been taking these books a little slower. All of them have pretty much demanded that I read them slower.

I read Empire of Silence a month ago and loved it. However, as I was watching the page count mount I kept thinking, "He's not leaving much time to get to the bit where he destroys a sun etc." Then it became apparent that this element of the story was not going to be in this book. Although I enjoyed the book, to find that the main selling point didn't happen was something of a let down. However, I have Howling Dark on my ereader next in line after my current read and will continue with the series. I tried reading Dune a few times many years ago but it didn't gel with me so I can't comment on Ruocchio ripping on it. However, Empire of Silence did have echoes for me of Wolfe's Shadow of the Torturer. Funnily enough, I'm currently reading a book of short stories in honor of Gene Wolfe and several of them take Wolfe's characters or settings and write fanfic into the gaps. So far nobody has done it well. Writers like Wolfe and Ruocchio are at the top tier for a reason.

Want to get into it but the hardbacks are rarer than gold. I’ve read the first book on kindle but really would like the physical editions

Just started Book 1 this week. The first person was a little hard for me to get into but after about 40 pages it just took off. I haven't been able to stop thinking about it when I'm not reading it.
