Leviathan Wakes by James S.A. Corey
4.0
I never thought I’d like Space operas but..... here we are.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Leviathan Wakes is a book that has so many well done plot twists that I am both excited and extremely scared for what’s to come in the next EIGHT BOOKS! I’m so glad I started this series, while skeptical at first I’m hooked.
The books takes a dual perspective approach with, James Holden, the second in command on a water retrieval ship and Detective Miller, a middle aged policeman on Ceres station. We spend the first half of the book following their separate lives but when Holdens ship is blown up by Mars and Miller is kicked out of agency for looking to far into a case they become tenuous friends to try and ... save earth and the universe from a alien brown goo. The book is fast paced, extremely heartfelt and uses just the right amount of technology banter that you don’t get lost. The only think holding me back from a five star is Millers chapters in the end got quite a bit long and tedious in (my opinion) This book really drives into what it means to be human and how origin can tear us apart and although this series is MASSIVE, I’d highly recommend it.
