This is an amazing series

The early books (1, 2, & 3) are a bit of a mishmash, as they cover a lot of time and actually change worlds. The characters are important and some of them are still around through the whole set.

Book 1 is setting up the whole show. Deep back story explaining how some talented individuals came to be and how they came to be defined as they are.

Book 2 sets up some of the new world and lays foundations that will - after the have been broken up a bit - inform the society and world to come.

Book 3 introduces the new society and world, but it is also setting up the parents of the next generation. That’s where things really start to get interesting.

The *Wine* in the series title doesn’t actually show up until late in book 2...or maybe 3. But the impact it has...wow.

While the series is at 37, many of the entries are short stories of collections of shorts, covering single adventures.

Sometimes it feels more like a serial than a series.

I have and will continue to purchase each release as soon as it comes out. ( )

This book is brilliant, and in some ways disturbing as it is easy to imagine the world that is described coming to pass. I've read quite a few books tackling the issue of genetically improved people and the backlash from the general populace, but the slant this story puts on it (those who have been enhanced being classed as property rather than people) isn't one I remember seeing before and it has all sorts of unpleasant consequences. The writing is superb and I'm really looking forward to reading more in this series. ( )
