Leviathan Wakes by James S.A. Corey

5.0

Read this after starting and giving up on the Amazon series.
Along with [b:The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet|22733729|The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet (Wayfarers, #1)|Becky Chambers|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1405532474l/22733729._SY75_.jpg|42270825] this book kicked off a shotgunning a number of each series.
This introductory novel offers a horribly realistic view into the near future as humanity is forced to expand across our solar system. The two main POV characters are fascinating flawed protagonists that you really hate until you love, then hate...etc.
The world is easy to hop into and Corey's ability to paint scenes is enthralling.
