¡Atrapante! Excelente ciencia ficción y muy buen desarrollo de los personajes. Lo leí después de haber visto la serie y me pareció que está bastante bien adaptada en base al libro.

It took me way to long to get into this. It's basically a space-noir novel set against the backdrop of interplanetary war... And then things get weird.
It's good but, I feel like I should like it far more than I do. Maybe, it's just too damn depressing given the times we live in.

The sheer size of this book intimidated me, but I’m glad I gave it a go! A riveting political space thriller with great pacing,  it never felt bloated or drawn out… can’t think of one chapter I’d have cut. I appreciated the stark treatment of life in space; the authors drove that home and yet somehow managed to avoid a dystopian tone. The cast of characters grew on me and in between reading sessions I kept wondering what they’d get up to next. I particularly enjoyed the  relationship between Miller and Holden. I’ll be continuing with the rest of the series!

The world and politics are compelling. It isn't a 5 star read for me because I didn't like the two main characters.

Detective Miller's obsession with the missing girl gave me the ick. At first it seemed sweet but he legit says he's in love with her. This girl who is half his age and he's never met! He also had a comment about SA survivors that rubbed me the wrong way.

Jim is pretty generic to me. The romance between him and his cabinmate needs to be developed a lot more.
