Amos is one of my favorite character from the Expanse series. Getting a look into his shockingly violent and somewhat twisted past gives you a peak into what shapes how he treats people and situations. Made me want to do a re-read of the first few books.

Child rape is not okay. Reverse the genders, and people wouldn't be so quick to excuse this book. The main character was groomed by a female caretaker for years prior to the on-page child rape when he is 15.
