This third installment of the Expanse saga is fast moving, engaging, with great story telling and character development. I will definitely be proceeding on in this series. Like a blockbuster movie in book form.

Definitely not the direction I was expecting this series to take, but extremely good nonetheless. I think this series does a really good job of having an overarching plot that is progressing rather than having each of the stories be self-contained. But at the same time, each book introduces new characters that are compelling and unique and add a lot to the universe. The female representation seems to be improving as time goes on, too. I think this book in particular really brought to light exactly why the series is called "The Expanse." Looking forward to the next book.

Pozitivno (pros) - i dalje interesantna ideja oko protomolekula i prstena i šta on predstavlja.
Negativno (cons) - ptpuno nepotrebno i suvišno ubacivanje religije, slabija priča sa fokusom na međuljudskim sukobima i akciji, slabiji i neupečatljiviji likovi.

My biggest issue with this series is how often it shifts perspective and that Holden is the only consistent perspective throughout the series. My other issue is the concept that our same modern religions would exist this far into the future. At least in the US every generation is less religious then the last so I find it very hard to believe that hundreds of years from now they will be widespread at all.
