This series has the most interesting plot concept I’ve read in awhile. And I’m slowly falling more and more in love with the characters. The best part is that I have no idea where it’s going.

I loved this book so much! I loved getting to hang out with the characters from Leviathan’s Wake, and I loved the new characters they introduced. I appreciated how adept they were at world building, action sequences, political power play, and relationship drama. Most writers can only do one really well, sometimes two. I suspect these books benefit from having two writers working really well together as one author.

4.0

A well-paced and engaging read! These guys don’t have a clue how to write women but this is easy to just laugh at and ignore because the story is so interesting (and kudos to them for including so many women at all and for giving them meaningful roles in the story!)

I liked the first book better by a small margin, but man, the ending to this one was a mindf*ck. Very excited for book 3!
