I just loved Chrisjen Avasarala for her no holds barred speaking and the fact that the author had her telling you exactly what political intrigue was about to happen. I HATE when the author has folks sneaking around in the background generating trouble. I think, they think they're creating anticipation but all they do is make me want to stop reading their work.
Pacing was even better than [book:Leviathan Wakes|8855321] and I was at first disheartened to see my favorite character from it was gone but I took a keen interest in Bobbie Draper.
I'll be reading the next in the series.

The book is fairly old at the time of my reading; I wonder how much has changed? Can someone still do this type of stopping just anywhere for the night? Have a good conversation without concerns for safety?
It reminds me of something I read decades ago, On the Road by Jack Kerouac, which I didn't like at the time. Maybe I didn't appreciate the wandering, and appreciation of the moment and who we might meet or what we might learn, at any moment.

Amazingly, for being the 5th book in the series and for being a heavy beast at 700 pages, a great read that I picked up every opportunity I got.
I don't understand why this series isn't on more bookshelves, digital or physical? I still have to rely on interlibrary loans to get this series; this time all the way across the country!

Can get a bit confusing at the beginning because alot of names are thrown at you as the author gives background on all the swans in a short period of time.
Very insightful.

A fun read, lots of action and movement [what I like in a story], who was who was a mystery til almost the end [I like this too]. The characters had good depth and personality, and I liked that objects of nature have manifestations.
If you like this book and don't mind a bit of leaning towards sci-fi, you may enjoy [book:The Atrocity Archives|101869] by [author:Charles Stross|8794]. London today, supernatural, and managing the chaos that ensues.
