Our view
The eighth and penultimate Expanse novel shows why the series has lasted: however vast the conflict becomes, the weight rests on characters readers have followed for years, and several of them get moments here that feel fully earned. The plot keeps wrong-footing expectations, and some readers rate it above the volume before. It is no place to begin, but for those who have come this far it is one of the most satisfying stops.
