Caliban's War by James S. A. Corey

4.0

This was significantly better than the first book. The first book, Leviathan Wakes, was a solid 3.5 stars for me, while this one is 4 or 4.5 stars. The pace of the book and the character work were much better than the first. I also feel like the authors took some of critiques of the first book and made them much better here.

I really enjoyed the two of the new perspectives, Avasarala and Bobbie. The first book was lacking female perspectives, and a governmental/political setting. The inclusion of the politic maneuvering on Earth was absolutely great and I always love some good scheming.

Jim Holden got toned down from his 'perfect man' in the first book and he seemed much more realistic and flawed in this book. Of course, I still love Alex, Amos and Naomi. This book set up for the 3rd book and the rest of the series much better than the first did, in my opinion. Definitely excited to read the 3rd book, especially after the very very ending of this book!
