When I grow up, I want to be Avasarala, but with Bobbie's muscles.

Solid Expanse book. New POV is one of the better one off POVs, if a bit repetitive.

4.5

the beginning kind of dragged for me, just because the whole plotline about holden's dark night of the soul after eros was boring as fuck. it really shouldn't have been, honestly, but it mostly just annoyed me how naomi switched up after the first book. like... she was the one telling holden that miller wasn't a bad guy, and that he was right to

kill dresden

, but then in this book she's talking about how he was a half-cocked wildcard? it was just a weird change-up that didn't really seem earned. 

i absolutely adored the plotline with bobbie and avasarala, though, and once holden chilled the fuck out the crew dynamics were fun and top-tier. plotline was also extremely solid. that cliffhanger was a war crime, though
