Nemesis Games by James S.A. Corey
2.0
Never split the party.
This was the worst book in the series. Only the fact that I was five books invested and the fast-readable writing kept me going until the end.
The Naomi storyline is what killed it for me. Her chapters where borderline skippable. Let's leave behind the best second chance you've ever got to reconnect with your bullshit ex boyfriend!
The Amos chapters were fun, and the Alex chapters pulled mercifully out of the cheap chick-flick cliche plot line it almost crashed into to turn around and get interesting.
I'm torn on the villain. You hate him not so much because he's over the top, but because you probably hate a guy like this in real life. He's so irritating in his stupid reaction to his situation. He monologs like a self-absorbed Palahniuk villain. This is the idiot that votes for Trump just so he can watch everything good fall apart around us. He's a tool.
This book was a setup. It doesn't get neatly wrapped up like the four previous ones, so it's my guess that the next ones are going to get real good. And maybe for that reason, this slog was worth it.
