Even though I like Sci fi movies, I've never really been into the books. However, I recently decided to read the Expanse books. I just finished the third book (
Abaddon's Gate) and it was so friggin' good. They have all been good reads so far and the first books in a while that I have read that I end up staying up way too late because I can't put them down. I've heard they drop off some as the series goes on but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it, I guess.
I had actually put this off because I was expecting a pretty heavy read but the books to me seem more of the equivalent of "popcorn" movies - heavy on the action and light on the hard science. I also want to go back now and watch the TV series again. I watched all three seasons and enjoyed them but wasn't always clear exactly what was going on. It's a lot clearer now.
