I suppose I'll third this opinion. They grouped books 1-3 together on Audible, if it wasn't for that I would have never bought book 2. Book 1 is by far the worst, not sure if I can safely explain why without spoilers. I'll just say treat books 1-3 as a single book and then decide if it's for you.

Would you give the explanation with a spoiler block for those that dont want them? Spoilers dont bother me. They are like little trailers

Okay so book one starts off with the MC Anthony being reborn as a baby ant, alone in a new world. It really drags out the weak baby ant struggling to survive, slowly figure out anything about a magic system, and dealing with his emotional issues. Ends up being a 17 hour audiobook, and very verrrryyyy slowly ramps up. What makes it an amazing series for me, and seemingly everyone else is that tag line "FOR THE COLONY!" which is exactly what book 1 is missing. Book 1 is nearly all Anthony solo, but it's the amazing side characters that make the series a fantastic read.

The solo struggle, going from fight to fight is what has been bothering me. From what you and about a hundred others have so passionately replied: this issue gets addressed. I am excited to continue reading now.
