    I liked the first book a lot, and wanted to learn them mystery, but I really struggled with the 2nd book. Maybe it is better for me to let it remain mysterious in that nature.

      I read the first book, and the sequels when I was younger. The sequels were a struggle I remember.

      Clarke only really wrote the 1st book. 2nd, 3rd and 4th were co-written with Gentry Lee and aren’t very good. I think the sequels weren’t needed and somehow spoil the first book.

        That’s very interesting and I didn’t know that. My mind calls out for answers. But also I can see the way it isn’t meant to have them. Like its a wider message maybe.
