This instalment is all about exploring consequences and the many ways we can’t leave our regrets or our pasts behind (unless you’re Jim, who has no regrets to revisit, it seems). It’s the chance to really get to know Alex, Naomi and Amos and allows them to show their previously half-glimpsed depths (rather than Jim’s take on them; and I love the many ways in which he is or chooses to be blind about his crew).

I have no cool and no perspective on a reread. It doesn’t pack the visceral punch second time around - first outing, Marco’s attack hit me in a weirdly personal confronted-by-own-unexamined-vulnerability kind of way - but the emotional impact of the personal journeys remains and only gets more complex on further acquaintance.

Minor: Sexual violence and Suicidal thoughts

A main character is kidnapped by her abusive ex and held captive by him for the majority of the book's run-time. He is extremely manipulative and emotionally abusive to her

and their teenage son

, and occasionally physically abusive.

She escapes, but her son, who still believes his father to be a good man, remains with him

. A group of Belters

launch a series of asteroids at Earth, instantly killing millions of people and destroying the planet's environment in a way that will kill billions more.

Two main characters are caught up in this event and witness the devastation firsthand.

They survive and escape the planet.

As with previous books, there is frequent gun violence and several space battles. There is frank discussion of imperialism, terrorism, and bigotry both systemic and personal, with many blunt parallels to real-world events.
