James S.A. Corey: Cibola Burn (Paperback, Orbit) 4 stars

Review of 'Cibola Burn' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Finally got around to reading this volume. Still good near-future space opera.

The crew of the Rocinante feels even more like an RPG adventuring group in this volume than they have before in how they end up in the middle of this situation despite having no real reason for ending up in the middle of this situation.

Still not sure how I feel about the "romance" subplot, but otherwise an enjoyable read.

Edit: Getting around to watching Season 4 of the show, it reminded me just how much I disliked certain elements of this book involving the head of corporate security character. Lowered my rating by one as a result. To paraphrase part of my original intro: Still good near-future space opera, but not quite as good as the first three books.
