Cibola Burn by James S.A. Corey
3.0
It took me a while to begin this book, as I fell into a Malazan-shaped hole sometime last November. The imminent release of the fourth season of The Expanse prompted me to return to this series, as I was curious to experience my first season of the television adaptation WITH book knowledge.
Cibola Burn was quite an entertaining read, though I felt it lost its footing a few times along the way. I found the most interesting theme of the book to be the overarching sense of human fragility and ignorance as the characters tried to carve out a home from an alien planet which. other than its breathable atmosphere, seemed to very much want to kill them. I also enjoyed the protomolecule-related mysteries encompassed by Miller's presence in this book, and I am intrigued to discover more as I continue to read this series.
Also, fuck Murtry, seriously.
