The sequels had much better overall cohesion and I feel, if approached properly, would make an excellent couple of movies or a series akin to how Foundation has been approached.
Yes, I too agree that the sequels just/only feel a bit different, a bit less sciency-technical stuff, more intra-individuals/cultural things, but having good alien species/cultures/values presented as actually alien was amazing.
I wouldn’t say I like the sequels any less than the first book tho, most importantly I think they together form an even greater & complete series (life of Nicole was very cool).
