Abaddon's Gate by James S.A. Corey
Honestly, Corey should drop at least one persepective. Having four different perspectives on the same situation makes things pretty messy and casues a lot of overlap. I did like the smaller scale of this one compared to Caliban's War, it also has better stakes and setup for the rest of the series.
adventurous
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I guess it’s ok?
This one can't decide what it wants to be. Too many plotlines, too many characters and motivations, and really is a tale of two haves, both of which are mediocre.
