Action packed and tense, but still the authors are able to break large world changing problems down to the human level. What I truly loved about this book was it’s central theme of redemption, and what it truly might look like to forgive the unforgivable. While a bit boring when first introduced Pastor Anna’s character really shines at the end of this novel. I ended up highlighting entire paragraphs of her dialogue.Â

Though the book flirted with exploring the crew of the Rocinante's pasts, the most we got was a bit of confirmation about Amos that had been foreshadowed in book 2. Despite Holden's intimate relationship with Naomi, he...still does not know anything about her past? Kind of strange, especially given that they all know his--you'd think he would be the type of person to at least bring it up.
However, Abaddon's Gate goes harder on power struggles than emotional arcs, though Melba does have a bit of one. I was a bit disappointed we didn't get any resolution with
Recommend? Yep, another fun, quick read! Mind the content warnings.
