patrick_soares 's review for:
Leviathan Falls
by James S. A. Corey
Reading the first chapters of this one I realized something: I'm just burned out with The Expanse and its stupid humans fighting petty wars.
For those who came this far one thing is obvious: the authors were making stuff up as the series went, and unfortunately that lack of cohesion and constant regurgitated plotlines with some baddies trying to control the universe just made the series lost more and more steam as it went.
In Leviathan Falls all the human conflict side of it, I just couldn´t care less. Humanity is about to go extinct, trying to fight beings from another space-time dimension and here we are, trying to kill each other... even the characters' moments of introspection and their dynamics lacked that engaging investiment I had from other books.
I was reading to get to the stuff that really interested me: the protomolecule creators and their destroyers. And suffice to say, I think all that was handled really well. We get to know more about them, but not tooo much since we are talking about beings appreciately different from humans and beings from another dimension.
All the conflict with those beings was pretty cool and fit very adequately with the themes of the series. And the ending felt very apt and suitable to close the whole arc of the story.
Overall, I still like and recommend the series.
I just wished it was a few books shorter.
