ekcd_'s review against another edition

adventurous dark emotional funny mysterious tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.5

A solid and inevitable reread. I don’t often buy books- so far I’ve only ever invested in two book series, and with the conclusion of the fifth Expanse book I now have to save up for buying these guys

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.
