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.

• Took a while for me to get into it, but then I didn't want to put it down again. Just like the first part!
• Avasarala is kind of incredible, her constant cursing is just hilarious
• Character development: top notch imo
• I love the changing of the protomolecule, it keeps getting more interesting and more high stakes
• The end??? Um I need to continue immediately
• Proper fucking diverse characters
