My second time reading and I love it more than the first time. And I want to devour this series. The authors of the Expanse have such a strong grasp on sci-fi writing/vocab and overall world building it’s just astounding. In a world where humanity has spent generations living throughout the solar system, it’s still a world shaking event when first contact with an alien species or technology is made. That makes for a wildly fun ride.
