Babylon's Ashes by James S.A. Corey
4.0
Babylon’s Ashes did a nice job of finalizing the major events from Nemesis Games, and left me with a sense of poetic hope in the form of Tolstoy.
In this 6th book, we spend a lot of time in the heads of Filip Inaros, Michio Pa, and Holden and crew, and there were some unexpected endings to some of the characters which fell a little flat for me. We also get snapshots of some of the folks we haven’t seen in a while—Anna back on earth, and Prax. And we play around in Marco’s head.
Avasarala is her riotous self; Bobbie, Alex, and Amos are in top form; Clarissa is getting settled, and Naomi still struggles with her feelings of failure as a mother to Filip and her responsibility to do good by humanity.
This book had some action-packed space battle scenes, but it felt more like a book 5 wrap-up and subsequent setup for the ongoing conflicts in the next one. Looking forward to it!
