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. 

Sci-Fi, Found Family

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.
