I read this in bits on my trip in Costa Rica. The writing of this series is really gripping. I'm engaged and excited to read more each time I've gone into these stories (this being the second). I'm reading Caliban's War next (alongside Pachinko for a book club read? September the month of BIG books?

There's a theme of deep conspiracy going on that I think will keep unraveling in the next book(s?). The characters feel fleshed out and the world building is awesome!

It's... Fine. Maybe I would have liked it more if I didn't know what would happen but I don't know.

This was a nice little short story, good character development, interesting, etc.
Probably in retrospect shouldn't be read before [b:Leviathan Wakes|8855321|Leviathan Wakes (Expanse, #1)|James S.A. Corey|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1411013134s/8855321.jpg|13730452]. I feel like I may know more than I'm supposed to. We'll see.

I enjoyed this, was interesting insight into Fred's past and character. Wasn't anything mind blowing though.
