I still liked this one, but I much prefer the dynamic when the crew is all together. Breaking the gang up allows for interesting character arcs, but there are a lot of side characters to keep track of who only play minimal roles in the story. I much prefer the deeper stories about interesting and fleshed out characters who come across the crew’s path. This is certainly a personal preference thing, but it hurt this book a little for me. (I was also pretty exhausted while reading the back half of this book, so take this with a grain of salts)

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.
