I read the book after watching the first episode of the show and fell in love so hard I don’t think I can be impartial about evaluating the books good-ness.
Deep characters, realistic dialogue, deep lore and world building.
A note on the writing of relationships …
It’s the one and only sci fi book I have ever read, written by a man (men?) that had a sex scene WITHOUT bodily objectifying women. Without bodily objectifying anyone. Such a minor plot point, less than two pages, but for me it reframed my expectations of the book. No weird porny misogyny. Just an earnest description of what it means to share intimacy
One aggravating, potential plot hole (hence the half star deduction)
Why the fuck wouldn’t they just crash Eros into the sun as planned? It’s great for the plot to have it land on Venus but it was so out of character and out of dynamic
I’m not mad though, because I would have hated for this to only be one book. But I hope they get their shit together on the next one tbh
