The authors change pace by splitting the party and finally reveal a lot of the various baggage the crew was carrying. But all within a fast paced story with lots of action and, again, some momentous changes in the fictional universe.
I read this book after seeing the TV series, which is very unlike me. I remember the TV adaptation was great, and the book is even better.??
This might be my favorite book in the series. The pace of the book is just perfect with POV chapters for each one of the Rocinante crew members: Holden, Naomi, Alex, and Amos. It???s a different setting as well because they are not inside Rocinante for a change, and they are not even in the same places for most of the time and that just shows how good these characters are.??
Saddened to know that I've caught up with this series. Consistently brilliant.
