This new arc is so good. I’m so back in on the Expanse

3.0

There is a HUGE time jump between this book and Book 6. 30 years. I...didn't really see the need for it, and honestly, it kind of put a damper on the rest of the book because of it. At least for me, anyway. The characters are still themselves, but that time jump puts them at least in their sixties. A lot of the stuff they were doing in the book seemed....unlikely at that age, but what do I know?

Finally, there is a villain/bad guy group that ACTUALLY put fear into me. The Laconians are terrifying. Their tactics, their ships, what weapons they have. Holy shit are they scary. Watching what happens to the governor though, that was just...a+. Loved it.

I genuinely don't know what's going to happen in the rest of this series. I can't guess, but I'm interested to find out.
