The Chronicles... tends to polarise readers - you will only occasionally find somebody who thinks they're "not bad" or "decent".
The
Gap series,
Mordant's Need and his collections of short stories are all highly recommended as well, by the way. Those who thought TC was too depressing should stay the hell away from the
Gap (a lot darker than even TC) but definitely give
Mordant's Need a shot, that's one of the most entertaining, page-turning stories I've ever read, and I've re-read it several times. Much lighter reading than his two epics.
