Done reading this one https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28335699-leviathan-falls

Well, this ends up The Expanse series, at least for now, it's for sure my favorite series ever, but a lot because of the TV adaptation, I also finished the Video Game, and now there's one on the way that I will play for sure.

About the 9th book, well, I can agree with one of the negative (big) comments about it, this was the book that took most of the time to finish it, for several reasons, but mostly because of what is described on that comment, about 20% of the book and the story doesn't advance at all, it's all about the "new" characters arch that aren't captivating enough for me. About the ending, I wonder if it would be so different if they just let Duarte do what he was doing.

Does anyone have a 'best order to read' The Expanse book series and novellas?

I have the list of all in publication order. I'm wondering how best to mix in the novellas with the novels.

I did catch a note the author recommends reading in publication order, so that is cool. I just wanted to see if there were other reading order recommendations.

Thanks and much appreciated!

If you're a fan of the books by James S. A. Corey - series of books, in general or of the TV series of the same name then you'll be excited for the game that was announced

The Expanse: Osiris Reborn looks amazing, made by Owlcat Games (𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘡𝘩𝘦π˜ͺ𝘳 π˜€π˜™π˜—π˜Žπ˜΄) you know it's got a high chance of being great - choice-based narrative and relationships? Yes plz!

+ it all gives me a strong Mass Effect vibe, which is only a good thing

That’s the thing about autocracy. It looks pretty decent while it still looks pretty decent. Survivable, anyway. And it keeps looking like that right up until it doesn't. That’s how you find out it's too late.

I like the Dragon Age, Fantasy AGE systems. I do think they suffer a little bit from not having the vast trove of monsters, magic items and lore that D&D has.

Curious to see how the system works for a sci-fi rpg.

I have only skimmed the rules so far, but I applaud the writers for getting the first page of the GMs section right.
