From 3.5 stars to 5 stars on re-read. Congratulations to me on hypothesizing correctly.

Leviathan Wakes (The Expanse, #1) by James S.A. Corey

May 4, 2022 by narfna Leave a Comment

I have lost all objectivity in regards to this series. I knew I would like this better on re-read, but I didn’t anticipate just how differently I’d feel. I’m bumping this up a full star from 3.5 to 4.5, and rounding up past that to five stars, because as previously mentioned: objectivity, gone. Haha look at my first review below. I have very different things to say now! The weird thing is, I can remember being the person who wrote that review below, but I […]

this book is just the best part of the best series

Babylon's Ashes by James S.A. Corey

March 23, 2022 by wicherwill 2 Comments

I can absolutely see why the series had to end with this book, and I can see why they adapted things they way they did, and I can see why the next books have a time skip forward. I really do understand, I am a reasonable mature adult. But. But but but. I just wanted more? MORE. Babylon’s Ashes is the culmination of six books that ask a different sort of sci-fi question. Unlike authors like Becky Chambers or series like Star Trek, which ask, “How humanity could be, but […]

Expanse run starts…now

Strange Dogs by James S.A. Corey

March 23, 2022 by wicherwill Leave a Comment

And so starts the run of Expanse books after I finished watching the TV show. Having finished the books, I’ll stick to my original premise that the correct order is TV show then books, and I’ll fight anyone who disagrees. For this novella in particular, I’m not sure I’m particularly fond of either the TV adaptation or the novella. The TV adaptation suffers from one of the classic traps–child actors who just don’t do it for me, but on whose shoulders rest the weight of the plot. […]

A final book that does this wonderful series justice.

Leviathan Falls (The Expanse, #9) by James S.A. Corey

December 29, 2021 by narfna Leave a Comment

I cried, because I am nothing if not predictable. This was a good ending, but I’m not sure five stars worth? Also, I’m not sure what exactly happened there at the end. Mostly, I’m even more excited to do my full-series re-read in 2022. I did all of these except #4 on audio the first time through (because Jefferson Mays didn’t originally record that one) so I spent 2021 slowly collecting the paperbacks in preparation for my re-read (I also will be purchasing the 10th […]

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

Nemesis Games by James S.A. Corey

February 15, 2021 by wicherwill 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

March 1, 2020 by narfna 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 […]
