One of those books I kept taking breaks from because I didn’t want it to end

Nemesis Games by James S.A. Corey

by Leave a Comment

This books are just THE BEST, and they do the amazing in which they enhance an already great TV show (I will completely caveat that I specifically hold off on reading until I’ve seen the show, I’m not saying that the show is better but I am very into the Spectacle and the work that’s gone into the show. Now that the show is openly going to end after the upcoming sixth season, with noted deviations from the books because real world humans are terrible, […]

This only made me want book nine more. But still no release date.

Auberon (The Expanse, #8.5) by James S.A. Corey

by Leave a Comment

As with all of these Expanse novellas, I had a bit of a hard time getting into it (new characters, new setting, very discombobulating), but it had me by the end. Auberon was published after the eighth book, but it takes place right after book seven, when Duarte’s empire is just getting started. The Laconians have installed a brand new Governor on Auberon, one of the many colonized worlds of the gate system that will be instrumental in feeding the empire, and he’s our main POV […]

Where It All Started – the first Expanse novel

Leviathan Wakes by James S.A. Corey

by 1 Comment

I’ve been reading more sci-fi this year, and I figured I should finally get involved with this Expanse thing everyone is talking about.  I’d tried watching the show earlier in the year but it didn’t pull me in, so I figured I’d try the novels first. Leviathan Wakes takes place in the near future – Mars have been colonized, and there are stations further out supporting millions of humans in the Belt.  There are tensions between the Belters and the inner planets, and a political/terrorist […]

Penultimate Expanse Feelings

Tiamat's Wrath (The Expanse, #8) by James S.A. Corey

by 6 Comments

One of these days I’m going to have to do a full-series Expanse re-read. Probably not until after next year, when the last book is published. But whenever that happens, I feel like this book might be worth five stars. Maybe the last one, too. I actually finished it when it was first published over two months ago, but I’m so far behind in my reviews, this one isn’t going to super informative. I remember it traumatizing me, but in a good way. All that […]

More Expanse Side Plot

The Vital Abyss (The Expanse 5.5) by James S.A. Corey

by Leave a Comment

As I write this and extol the virtues of the Expanse series, I have a tinge of guilt.  I recommend the show to friends, in addition to the books, but I am part of the reason it, the show, was cancelled.  ScyFy owned the rights to only the first run of the show and I don’t watch any scripted shows at airtime, I am part of the cause for the cancellation.  That said, it has officially been picked up by Amazon, apparently Jeff Bezos is […]
