A review by jenns_bookshelf
The Mercy of Gods by James S. A. Corey

2.0

This... really fell flat for me. I was so excited to read this because I've really enjoyed the few Expanse books I've read from this author duo, but this one... just never clicked for me. That's not saying this is a bad book in any means, I just don't think it was for me. Why? I really don't know. Maybe it was the lack of solid push with the characters to free themselves or get information (I mean they're scientists, they just kind of accept the shit they're given until someone who isn't part of their original team pushes them to want to know information), which I sort of understand because of the intense trauma of the whole situation... but still, something was missing for me.
I got around 60% through and was seriously considering DNFing, because I just didn't care to pick the book back up; but I made myself, because I had been so excited to keep going - but honestly, this is going to leave my head faster than I read the book. Which is so sad, because I do think it is an interesting look at trauma and the human experience of dealing with intense grief.
Will not be continuing this series.
