“But she didn’t want the moment to end, either. Any of the moments with these people in this place. Even though eventually they had to. No, not even though. Because. Because eventually they had to. Nothing lasted forever. Not peace. Not war. Nothing.”

Babylon's Ashes (The Expanse, #6) by James S.A. Corey

I still think this is one of the best books in the series but in a more stealthy way than book five, which is a WHOPPER. The rest of the series is also more actiony and intense, but this one is more about showing the consequences of what’s already happened, and laying hints for what’s to come than it is about BIG moments. I really appreciate that the Corey duo can do both, and I think the series is better for it. One of the […]

“There was a button,” Holden said. “I pushed it.” “Jesus Christ. That really is how you go through life, isn’t it?”

Nemesis Games (The Expanse, #5) by James S.A. Corey

Once again, I find myself rushing to complete this review before I can allow myself to start my re-read of book six. This book was just as good as I remembered, and in fact, I actually think it was better. I noticed so many things this time around that I didn’t before, when I was just focused on, basically, OMG WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. (Something you can only notice on a series re-read: SPOILERS They really hit it hard that Amos would be the “Last […]

The one where Holden gets to be a do-gooder on another planet.

Cibola Burn (The Expanse, #4) by James S.A. Corey

August 22, 2022 by narfna Leave a Comment

Whoops, need to get this review out before I start my re-read of book five. This wasn’t my least favorite of these books the first time through, that for some reason was book two (even though I can objectively say that one is a better book, I just prefer this more inferior one for some reason). This is also most people’s least favorite of the series, and I can see why, I really can. This is actually the only one of these I read in […]

“We’re like children . . . who burn their hands on a hot stove and then think the solution is to blow up all the stoves.”

Abaddon's Gate (The Expanse, #3) by James S.A. Corey

July 12, 2022 by narfna Leave a Comment

Yeah, five stars. I knew this was going to happen, that I would feel the need to give this one five stars after a re-read, because this is the book that made me fall in love with the series. I’m not sure what it is about it exactly that makes me like it more than the first two books, which I like a lot (five stars worth now for #1!). This story just has such a clear purpose, a clear arc, and wild stuff happens […]

The Sins of Our Fathers by James S.A. Corey

June 3, 2022 by wicherwill Leave a Comment

Glad that I found this novella on Goodreads instead of just the entry for Memory’s Legion, which made it seem like I’d re-read all of the Expanse novellas instead of doing what I did, which is run immediately to the end of that book to read this new entry, which ties up the last loose thread (or, one of the final loose threads) of the extended universe. To be clear, I wouldn’t say to skip Memory’s Legion–Corey writes out some short author notes after each […]

Remember when Avasarala asked Jules Pierre-Mao if he needed to go to the potty? What a great moment in literature.

Caliban's War (The Expanse, #2) by James S.A. Corey

May 31, 2022 by narfna 4 Comments

30 Books in 30 Days, Vol. 2 Book 16/30 Again, liked this one more on the second read. Once again, my previous review is gobbledygook. This review isn’t going to be anything special because I’m forcing myself to write it. I’m starting my re-read of book three tomorrow and I don’t want there to be any emotional cross-contamination. (Especially since I have a good feeling I’ll be five starring #3 on re-read.) Like the first book, I enjoyed myself with this one a lot more […]
