“Finished @Pierce_Brown's latest, Dark Age, last night. Possibly my favorite of the entire series yet... Fantastic balance of multiple points of view. The story has emotionally destroyed me but I loved it. The wait for Book 6 is going to be a long one. #HailReaper”

Not sure if this is the right fit?

The narrative weaves political intrigue, messianic prophecy, and ecological adaptation. Useful if you want a richly realized world that explores power and human potential. Its density and extensive inner monologue can feel slow; you may find yourself bogged down by the sheer volume of invented terminology and the occasional preachy tone.”
