Question for those who have read them: is the whole The Expanse series good? (lemmy.world)

I've read the first two books and enjoyed them both. I enjoyed the TV series. But I see there are nine novels and eight novellas in the series, and I know the book series goes on longer than the TV series. I'm curious: is the quality fairly consistent or, like a lot of longer book series, does it degrade over time?

Edit: Thanks everyone! Sounds like the vast majority of folks enjoyed all of the books - enough that I'll probably read them all. I have other books on my reading list, so I might take breaks and read some of those in between.

I really appreciate all the responses. Thank you all. Upvotes all around!

As others have said, yes. Oh I'm so jealous of you right now!

I know i just want to read those books for the first time again. Second and third runs are nice, but not as great as the first one where your brain just explodes.
