I will forever love The Expanse universe. The technicality and world building combined with the utter humanness of the characters is what sci fi can be at its best.

A quote from the last author’s note sums it up: “One of the central arguments we’ve made with these stories is that, when you look at history, you see the same kind of people doing the same stupid, selfish, delusional, gorgeous, kind, astonishing things that we do today. And we’ll keep doing the same, as long as the species survives. Technical knowledge advances. The organism stays the same.”

This was such a bittersweet ending to the series. It managed to flesh out elements of this already stunning well built universe and gave context and epilogues for some of our most impactful characters throughout the series
If you loved The Expanse series then this is a must read.

If you missed out reading these as they came trickling out during the publication cycle of the series then you def owe it to yourself to read them now. And if you were lucky enough to find them as they came out then you owe it to yourself to read them again. See what happened to some of your favorite, or perhaps despised, characters after the, uh, last book. (no spoilers here!)

At the end of each story the authors present a short bit of notes or discussion. Little gems those are!
