Really enjoyed this book which continued to drive the story forward and didn't run into the second-book-bore that so many series fall into. I enjoyed learning more about the characters, seeing how they have grown and changed, and I also enjoyed the new characters that were introduced. I was a little worried about a hole in the book from the loss of the main character at the end of the first book, but I didn't find that to be a problem.
I feel like the author is a better writer in this book, the transitions between viewpoints was handled much better and as a whole the story felt smoother and more consistent.
I'll definitely be picking up the next one in the series.

OK, I'm sold on this series, and giving this book 5 stars. This installment 2 of the Expanse saga is again fast moving, engaging, and great story telling and character development. I will definitely be proceeding on in this series. I have not yet picked up the TV series based on it, but will this summer. I heartily recommend this series to all sci-fi and fantasy fans.
