Well, after finishing Leviathan Wakes, I now want to binge The Expanse because that was A LOT of fun. My favorite part about this first book is how the story became something I wasn't expecting at all. A book rarely does something I don't see coming and when one does, it makes me very, very happy.
A diverse cast of characters with tender, funny, and detailed character-building moments laced throughout a compelling plot set in a colonized solar system? You can't top that.
The only part that brought this down a bit was part of Miller's storyline. I won't dive into spoilers, but I feel it could've been told in a different, less creepy way. Otherwise, this was quite the solid start to what I'm sure will end up being one of my new favorite sci-fi series!
