It's gotta be tough to be the authors behind The Expanse - expectations are sky-high for these writers, and anything less than a rocket of a start could be a disappointment for fervent fans. In my case, I thought The Expanse as a series was uneven, w ...more |

As Scalzi himself says, this is a pop song. You won't get the answers you're looking for, not even the questions. No surprises to speak of. Having said that, Scalzi's writing is eminently readable, the kind of writing that can be taken in a session or ...more |

| I came to this series as a long-time reader of The Dresden Files, and the first chapter here nearly put me off. I'm incredibly glad I didn't put the book down, however - this is far and away my favourite thing Butcher has written. The world is beauti ...more | |

| This is a worthy followup to the excellent The Aeronaut's Windlass. Butcher's worldbuilding evolves and expands at a modest pace, keeping the focus on action and the main characters, though Gwen is perhaps given short shrift this time around. It seem ...more | |
