“Science had given mankind many gifts, and she valued it. But the one important thing it had taken away was the value of subjective, personal experience. That had been replaced with the idea that only measurable and testable concepts had value. But humans didn’t work that way,”
“What kind of justice would that be? ‘Oh, you killed Ren, but you’re sorry now so it’s okay’? Fuck that. And if that’s how your God works, then fuck Him too.”
“Charting the course of a life was making a map of the ways each event changed the person, leaving someone different on the other side.”

I am disheartened to learn that in this near future, there is still no cure nor relief from migraine attacks.

Though the book flirted with exploring the crew of the Rocinante's pasts, the most we got was a bit of confirmation about Amos that had been foreshadowed in book 2. Despite Holden's intimate relationship with Naomi, he...still does not know anything about her past? Kind of strange, especially given that they all know his--you'd think he would be the type of person to at least bring it up.
However, Abaddon's Gate goes harder on power struggles than emotional arcs, though Melba does have a bit of one. I was a bit disappointed we didn't get any resolution with
Recommend? Yep, another fun, quick read! Mind the content warnings.
