The trilogy came along at the wrong time for me. I could never get past the 1st time-jump. When an author abandons characters so frequently, I get lost in the whiplash and quit reading. I guess I feel indignant at trying so hard to connect with the characters, just to have the author throw that away and ask me to do it again.

So no never read it. Never got past a few pages in the 1st book. Similarly, never read the Rings trilogy. Nor Dune, which I regard as the ultimate hey-let-me-tell-you-about-this-cool-dream-I-had book which always annoy me.

Yet I have read thousands of Science Fiction stories. Just not the ones you have. SO I can connect pretty good, while I hope keeping a fresh perspective in the community.
