I liked them. The arc of the first two is over. You get more details about the Shrike, but if you've gone years without reading further, I can't imagine it's that pressing.

If you reach a point where you're looking for sci fi, and don't have another obvious choice, go for it you'll probably like them. But I wouldn't recommend shifting them above anything in your backlog. Hyperion and Fall off Hyperion really are the stars here.
