Loved the dialog. Definitely a page turner.

Took me longer than expected due to life getting in the way, but another fine addition to The Expanse universe.

A definite page turner. The story had a great flow and sense of urgency, and the characters had personality traits I found myself easily identifying with. Must read for SciFi fans.

A different tone than Old Man's War, and more about military politics than I was expecting. Still, it was a fantastic read that picked up nicely at the end. Very much looking forward to moving on with the series.

I had high expectations for this book, but ultimately, the expectations did not come true. I admit, it may have been a case of having an idea that this book was about something it was not, but I really felt like Grossman dropped the ball in a few spots.

The most intriguing part of the book was a hinted relationship between two characters, but it never came to be. I felt this was a missed opportunity, and would've given a book filled with nostalgia some much needed heart.

The other downside to the book? The entire thing basically felt like a 383 page “Let's Play.”

Not what I was looking for.

That being said, it was well written and had some redeeming spots. I did enjoy the flashbacks. Otherwise? Disappointing.
