3.0

Not as good as the first one, but still an enjoyable read. It felt like there was a rush in the last 100 pages to wrap everything neatly together - they left concluding the action to so late in the book that I assumed Abbadon's Gate was going to be a "part 2" to Caliban's War. But they found a way to cram all that climax in a very small amount of pages. Doesn't hold a candle to Leviathan Wakes in my eyes, but
Bobbie and Avasarala
make up for the ambling plot brought about by the time dedicated to their introduction. Looking forward to seeing how Abbadon's shapes up against this one!
