Duckus reviewed Leviathan Falls by James S.A. Corey (The Expanse, #9)
The Laconian Empire has fallen, setting the thirteen hundred solar systems free from the rule …
One of the stronger Expanse novels
4 stars
Content warning Mention of the third side of the gates.
Strong characterisation, following all the logic of previous books. Some excellent set pieces and interesting ideas about the gate builders.
I didn’t love the hand waving around the beings on the other side of the gates - his book steers away from the hard sci fi - but putting that aside, I enjoyed the book almost as much as Nemesis Games. Not as good as the first in the series though.
