Rhiannon
A little slower out of the gate (Ha!) than the first two, it picks up some speed (ironically enough) once everyone hits the Slow Zone. The book feels like it’s easily divisible into three parts: the trip out to the Ring; the Roci and crew escaping into the Ring with the horde of three different factions hot on their tail and Holden’s journey to the station; and then all the action on the Behemoth. Once everyone is inside the Ring is when the story really starts to shine.
The introduction of new main characters Melba/Clarissa, Anna and Bull and their respective POVs were ok, but it’s at the expense of not having Bobbie and Avasarala around for this book. I missed those two.
And because it’s been a while since I’ve read and watched the TV series, my memory is taking a bit of a beating in remembering what happened to who, and when, and what characters were or weren’t in each (I find myself really missing Drummer’s character in the books).
Good entry in the series, but not great.
