Abaddon's Gate (The Expanse, #3)

More protomolecule shenanigans.
At the end of the last book,(view spoiler)
And now we're going to find out why. Ish. And how. Ish.
And what even does that mean?! <--to be honest, that's a question for the universe.
I loved the new characters. Especially Tilly.
Snarky Tilly with a cigarette dangling between the fingers of one hand and a glass of booze grasped in the other. She has her own version of a conscience underneath the gobs of money and privilege that balance out her unlikely friendship with the soft-hearted Pastor Anna.
Now, Anna is the real main character but I can never relate to pacifists. She was a great character, though, and I thought she was incredibly well-written.
It's taken up till book 3 and quite a large page count to finally get not only a bit of backstory on the protomolecule but also a confrontation...of sorts.
I don't want to spoil anything, so the less said, the better.
All you really need to know is that Holden and the crew of the Rocinante are once again at the center of the storm.
And what a shitstorm it is.
Recommended.

I am a bit intimidated by the size of this series, but I've heard it will be worth my time...

It is a pretty big undertaking, but the books don't feel as clunky as you would think for something this size.
I read the first one and thought it was…fine. Seemed like “generic science fiction” to me.

Sci-fi is so...difficult. This is pretty much the only sci-fi series I'm reading right now and I'm interested enough to finish it out. But does that mean I'd shove it in everyone's face?
Ehhhh. No.
