Just got tired of reading Expanse; probably won't come back to it, as I just don't have that big of an interest in its characters, themes, or world.
The weirder stuff is cool, but not spoken about enough to keep me hooked.

These books are so good and so dense, that I alternately find myself avoiding reading them and wanting to devour them in a single sitting.

sevve's review against another edition

W tym tomie widać już spore różnice pomiędzy książkami a serialem. Przede wszystkim w składzie postaci - wątki na Behemocie przejmują zupełni inni bohaterowie. Drummer nie ma i jej wątek jest przejęty przez grupkę innych ludzi. Ashford ma również zupełnie inną rolę i muszę przyznać, że o wiele bardziej wolę to co zrobili z nim w serialu. Holden schodzi trochę na bok, a sporo kartek dostają Clarissa i Anna, które były ok.

Alex to wciąż praktycznie samo imię na kartkach. Dostaje raz na jakiś czas parę słów do wypowiedzenia, żeby czytelnik o nim nie zapomniał, ale i tak jest ciężko. Mogłoby go nawet nie być. Mam wrażenie, że autorzy kompletnie nie wiedzą co mają z nim zrobić, ale potrzebują pilota, więc muszą go trzymać. To, albo w kampanii RPG, na której te książki są oparte, mieli kumpla, który odgrywał Alexa, ale nie było go na prawie żadnej sesji i musieli gdzieś go chować, żeby gdzieś tam "był".

It took me quite a lot longer to warm to the characters in this story than previous ones in the series, but I ended up being sucked in by the story and characters about halfway through.
