Jakers reviewed The Churn by James S.A. Corey (The Expanse, #0.3)
Of all the Expanse shorts I've read so far, this one is my favorite
5 stars
I mean how could it not be. The only thing I like more than a Bobbie Draper is an Amos Burton. It's a gritty and dark origin for a gritty and dark character that shows how he ended up being a wrecking ball that just needed a moral compass.
Props to the authors for making it weird, but not shockingly gross. There's volumes in what parts aren't told, and that's a good thing. I feel like they really pared down what was actually important to the character in the story.
