They are OK but not the best for me. James Nicoll reviews them all at:

The missing series for me is the Pip and Flinx series by Alan Dean Foster.

trilogy by KSR.

And the other missing series is the 16 book Vorkosigan Saga by Lois
McMaster Bujold. Starting with the awesome “Shards Of Honor", the
series has been nominated for Hugos ten times and won five time, one
Hugo for the entire saga.

The entire Vorkosigan Saga:

Very few of those have I read all of them. The Mars trilogy and
Murderbot Diaries (other than System Collapse, which isn't out) are
about it.

The ones I was surprised to see missing were the Culture books by Iain
