Just awful. Like Final season of Game of Thrones awful. Except less happens.

I've read maybe a handful of books twice. And only one or two 3 times. I have read Ender's Game more than a dozen times (I've listened to the audiobook 2 or 3 times through). It is most definitely my favorite book of all time.

Update after 2023 re-read: This re-read was the first time that I felt the book wasn't a perfect 10/10. The book just doesn't hit the same way at 40 years old as it did when I was 10 or 20. It was still a very enjoyable book. Nobody writes characters quite like Card. He conveys and internal emotional life that maybe only Robert Charles Wilson and Robin Hobb can match.

This book packs a hell of punch for something so short. There are some outdated gender stereotypes going on but they didn't bother me too much. The story and what the crew ends up doing is a thrilling ride.

Liked this novella a lot. Follows Bobby Draper's young cousin as he gets sucked into the seedy underworld. Bobby has to bail him out at the end.

The best of the Expanse novellas I've read so far. Amos' origin story. Love the character so no surprise I loved his backstory.
