Our view
“Leviathan Falls” ends the Expanse series by doing what it always did, only larger: it moves from one crew’s loyalties to the fate of humanity across more than a thousand systems, and still ties its threads off. Most readers come away satisfied. A minority find the last volume stretched and harder to stay with than its predecessors. As the ninth of nine, it is strictly for those who have read the rest.
