Ditto.

The novels make little sense alongside the aesthetic of the films but as an exercise in trying something new I thoroughly enjoyed them.

Still Collating...

I really enjoyed the trilogy as well.

Are you attached to steve and S.D. Perry's Lore and the Yautja culture from those books? Will dissapoint you in the predator aspect if you are, but yes overall worth a read.

Of the recent Titan novels, I think Cold Forge is the only book I enjoyed more.

I haven't read them since each first came out, but I remember really enjoying the series. I think the Predators were too underpowered in the first book, but not after that. Keep wanting to re-read this series actually.

Rage War definitely portrays them as more mysterious than in the Perry novels.  There are certain new elements of lore that are introduced in the former that, isolated, are kind of interesting in their own right.  But yeah, if you are attached to the Perry characterization and culture/lore, it might take some adjustment at first.

The 3 audios make pretty great listening while doing mindless chores and such. The reader is the same guy who plays Deckard from Audible's Sea of Sorrows, I believe.

Sooooooo true

Without spoiling who or what he is, hands down my favorite part of the trilogy is Kalakta. He just has a presence for the few times he's in the book and he's kinda freaky because you get the feeling he's just like so wise that he could literally outthink anyone. That's how I felt anyway.
