Too misogynistic, patriarchal, and boring. There is infinite potential for a space opera and this one chose cops, guns, thugs, guns, rape, bombs, detectives, guns, prostitutes, guns... you get the picture.

I prefer my sci-fi to be as imaginative, adventurous, and action-packed as Brandon Sanderson's or as innovative, interesting, and intelligent as Becky Chambers'.

This series is so good. Honestly the first book isn't even the best one, but it's still so good.

Great vacation read. Moves fast and most chapters end on a mini-cliff hanger which keeps you reading. I found the first half of the book really interesting where everything is set up and there is a lot of mystery around what is going on. Lots of f-bombs but primarily limited to one character.
I didn't enjoy the vomit zombie/alien stuff as much. It wasn't that it was so terrifying or gross, it just felt like kind of a letdown after the big build up.

A page-turner certainly. It had great world-building and was fluidly written. 

That said, I didn’t love the characters. Holden in particular seemed too artificial. 

My biggest beef with the book was how Holden always got his way, no matter how implausibly plotted. 

His YouTube uploads start two wars? Holden continuously convinces Top Men that he should be in the middle of all the action? It strains credulity too much.
