This novel was frustratingly close to a do-over of Leviathan Wakes. Yes there was variation—a different world in the Belt, an introduction to life on Earth, new characters—but it was still a fake war providing cover for a rogue experiment involving the protomolocule.
What saved it for me was Avasarala and the most unexpected last–page surprise I’ve read in a long time.
I have the third book and will get to it eventually, but I’m less enthusiastic than I was after finishing the first volume.
