What a stupid woman. At any point, they could have just told Teresa that her father woke up, and they need her help finding him, and she probably would have come. This whole conflict feels pretty damn manufactured unless that address that blindingly obvious communication gap.
Also, talk about looking a gift horse in the mouth. Just tell the admiral what you are thinking in terms of the threat. If he backs off and says he won't shoot even if you disagree....then you trust him. Otherwise, you don't.
And holy hell. Bobbie Jr. immediately taking over the ship? Did she even have reason to suspect they wouldn't turn over Teresa? What is up with all these insane people. I'm increasingly unable to buy into these characters as real.
Why are we killing the one guy who is demonstrably saving humanity? Also, they are never going to make me think Tanaka is interesting. She just seems painfully contrived. Maybe I'm just jaded after reading so many of these books.
Also, what kind of stupid solution does Holden have. At some point, humans will just figure out the same thing the proto-molecule did and we'll be right back in the same position.
I don't regret this series. It was enjoyable and had some neat stuff. But it led strong and tapered off, and holy hell it lasted to long to get to where it was going. It also really lacked satisfying character endings. The author doesn't know how to kill a main character.
Amus is the one saving grace in these books. Love that guy, all the way til the end.

Man.
A year and a half ago, I got back into reading for the first time in many many years and decided, like a fool, to read a 9 book, 5000+ page series.
This series holds a special place in my heart now as not just a truly incredible series that I love, but also the series that has turned me into a reader.
I was worried they wouldn’t stick the landing, but after 8 insanely consistently incredible books, they nailed it. I’m a mess and I am heartbroken but man, they got it so right. I’ve been completely unable to rank these books as each one is just so perfect in its own way, but this one particularly was so dang good.
These characters are just fantastic, even when they cause me heartbreak, maybe especially when they cause me heartbreak. The story grows and grows (expands?? eh? eh?) into something you couldn’t imagine. What a damn journey.
I love this book. I love this series. And I don’t know what’s next. But I’m a reader now.

Bon, eh bien, voilà.
C’est la fin d’une époque, la fin d’une histoire, la fin d’une saga, et c’est toujours un crève-cœur de devoir se séparer d’eux.
10 ans sépare l’éveil de la chute du Léviathan, 10 ans que nous suivons la vie de James, Naomi, Amos, Elvi, Bobbie, Camina, et de tous les autres. 10 ans qu’on a vécu leurs émotions, leurs moments leurs plus intimes, leurs peurs, leurs amours, leurs victoires et échecs. 10 ans que l’écriture de Ty et Daniel nous transportent dans le monde de The Expanse, et nous font vivre dans la tête de ces personnages, avec leur écriture si élégante et simple.
Autant vous dire que l’au revoir a été rude. J’étais en larme pendant les 100 dernières pages, et la toute fin m’a laissée bouleversée. Logique et attendue ? A beaucoup de points, oui. Il n’empêche qu’il est couillu de laisse autant de non-dits -beaucoup n’est pas expliqué, ce que je trouve appréciable. Les aventures de l’équipage du Rocinante vont me manquer -et je reviendrai sûrement vers la saga, plus tard, quand j’aurai fait mon deuil de la saga. Ils garderont leur place d’honneur dans ma bibliothèque, comme la meilleure saga de Space Opera de ces dernières années, un tournant dans la SF moderne, qui marquera sûrement les auteurs à venir – et qui a déjà grandement marqué le genre, en littérature comme dans l’audiovisuel.
Bordel, que c’était bon.
