Onto what I liked about this book: Filip. His character growth was perhaps the best of anyone in the series thus far and
I was also glad to finally get the answer re: the mysterious disappearing ships—we waited long enough for that one! At the same time, it's only a half-answer and I hope we get to dig into that more in the next book rather than a story that's Ilus, part II.
Unlike the other books, I didn't feel Babylon's Ashes left off with as big a teaser for the next so I'm not quite sure what to expect. The main conflict was pretty well wrapped up by the end of the story and even the big questions that carried over from previous books had been answered. I will be interested to see where they take the story next.
Recommend? Yes. A solid installment of The Expanse.
