First, a warning: I have officially passed the point of objectivity for this series. You know you’ve passed that point when you no longer care what happens in a book series as long as you get to spend more time in its world hanging out with its characters. This isn’t a place I get to easily, but once I’m there, I never ever leave. Love, it is irrational. With that said, oh boy, this book was awesome. In retrospect, one of my favorite things about […]
Our own worst enemy
SPOILERS for previous books in the Expanse series! Goodreads summary: “The gates have opened the way to thousands of habitable planets, and the land rush has begun. Settlers stream out from humanity’s home planets in a vast, poorly controlled flood, landing on a new world. Among them, the Rocinante, haunted by the vast, posthuman network of the protomolecule as they investigate what destroyed the great intergalactic society that built the gates and the protomolecule. But Holden and his crew must also contend with the growing […]
A Space Opera Without Music
I remember adding this book to my queue about two years ago. I bought it six months ago with two of the sequels because I anticipated really liking it. I read a fair bit of science fiction as a kid and I’m just starting to come back around to it. I wanted to read Leviathan Wakes because it sounded interesting, had excellent reviews from people I respect, and a supremely awesome tagline. Leviathan Wakes is a little bit of Firefly, a little bit of Battlestar […]
Interplanetary megastellar hydrostatic, there’s no gravity between us, OUR LOVE IS AUTOMATIC.
The Expanse is one of those series I sort of accidentally fell in love with. I only sort of liked it at first, while also being terrified by it (the first two books especially could fit comfortably into the horror genre, in my opinion). And then the third book hit and I was suddenly really, really into it. I know if I went back and re-read the first two I would retroactively love them, because that’s what always happens to me in these situations (Farscape […]
This could make a great TV show.
The day I finished reading this book, the news broke that SyFy had optioned The Expanse as a TV show. It was quite auspicious timing, especially since the third book had done wonders for my excitement over the future of this series. Abaddon’s Gate is the third book in James S.A. Corey’s* Expanse series, and it’s my favorite of the series so far. I am probably going to spoil them (probably meaning definitely), so don’t read any farther if you’re planning on reading. The first […]
