It was a good story, but didn't really have a conclusion. Just kinda left off for the next book to pick up. Not that that's necessarily a problem under the circumstances, though if I HAD had to wait a year for it I think I'd be more pissed.

It's a great story, but some "Oh come-on!" coincidences keep it from being a 5 star read.

I enjoyed the dive into the crew of the Rocinante's backstories juxtaposed with Belter machinations.

Bardzo dobra odsłona serii, przede wszystkim dzięki temu, że w końcu dostajemy perspektywy innych członków załogi niż Holden, a każde z nich dostaje swój wątek fabularny. Nie wszystkie były równie angażujące, ale i tak wyszło to bardzo na plus. Ogólna historia nie jest najciekawsza do tej pory (dla mnie jest to poprzedni tom), ale wciąga wystarczająco mocno, głównie za sprawą wysokiej stawki dla każdej zaangażowanej postaci.

Book 4 was good, but almost too familiar: Holden is righteous to a fault, Alex is an expert pilot, Naomi has a brain blast at the last minute, and Amos gets shot. I was worried that Nemesis Games might be my last Expanse book, but it instead blew away every expectation. We finally get an exclusive focus on our four heroes. They go in different directions, having their own intense adventures that push their character development into new yet logical directions. The Expanse world itself is completely upended. Once I started, I couldn't stop. This book made me realize how much I care for this rag tag crew, and supporting characters like Bobbie, Fred Johnson, and the always-delightful Avasarala. This is a game changer for the Expanse universe, as well as a thrilling quartet of character stories for our heroes.
