Last year, I powered through all nine books of The Expanse. It is the longest science fiction series I have ever read, and indeed the longest series I have completed. There were highs and lows across the novels, but overall I thoroughly enjoyed the stories, with an average rating of 4 stars. Following a core cast of characters across decades, the adventurous space opera is dark, mysterious, and often confronting, focused as it is on the human experience. But partnered with such emotional depth is a story rich in political intrigue and action as various powers struggle for control of the colonised solar system and beyond.
 
It was a treat to return to the universe of The Expanse in Memory's Legion, a collection of short stories that take place at different points across the series. I reunited with some familiar faces and favourites, met new and intriguing characters, and the stories expanded upon some key themes and answered a few lingering questions. Each story also included a short author’s* note at the end, which provided further insight into the universe and the collaborators’ journey to and through it.  Memory's Legion is an excellent complement to the universe of The Expanse, and I would definitely recommend checking it out if you’re a fan of the novels.
