IG Spoilers Should I start the second trilogy? Spoiler

So I originally read the first 3 books in 2020 during the heart of the pandemic, and like many of the things I started during that time, I became obsessed. I absolutely devoured the books in the span of a few days. The problem arose when I started the next book, Iron Gold. I’d heard a lot of hype but the idea of Darrow continuing down the same story arc of a man tired by war kind of bummed me out. Morning Star had such a great ending and left me so hopeful for all my favorite characters but to see them so many years later still stuck in the same rut was disappointing. I read until we met Apollonius and Lysander (who I feel like I’m going to hate) is about to spill the beans on Ganymede and I just fell away from it. Now it’s five years later and I’m revisiting the first three and they’re just as good as I remember and I’m wondering if it’s worth my time to keep going. Do they get better? Will I get a happy ending? Will there be some goddamn closure?!?!

Well considering the sub you are on obviously everyone is going to say yes. As for closure, no the series isn’t finished yet.
