Leviathan Wakes by James S.A. Corey
4.0
Leviathan Wakes is the first book in the Expanse series which is a sci-fi space opera!
Wow this first book was truly epic in all sense of the word, specifically with the sheer size of this story. In 500 pages there was so much going on, however I feel the authors did an amazing job making sure this was well written and it didn’t feel overwhelming at any stage.
The banter between Holden and Miller was well realised and I truly enjoyed the characterisations of most of the named characters.
However I think my favourite aspect of this story was how many genres were blended into this, sci-fi, mystery, slight horror elements.
Had me hooked from page 1 and really excited to see where this leads!
