Damn, I read this series right after the third one was released and had no idea he wrote more. Are the last two books as good as the first three?

Not as good as the original trilogy is the consensus, but still very good to great. Main difference is the 4th & 5th books are told from multiple POVs instead of only Darrow's. And those other POVs have their own plot lines running parellel to whatever Darrow is doing.

Some of those POV's are better than others, so you hit some slow downs when you get to chapters in the books told by characters that you arent really interested in (specifically in book 4). But by book 5, even those side stories are pretty good.

Edit: And a lot of people consider book 5 to be maybe the 2nd best book of the 5 released so far. So I guess if book 6 comes out firing, then you can possibly consider books 4-6 on par with the original trilogy.
