Well, this book changes things up. I won't give away too much, except for something that's mentioned within the first couple of pages: This book takes place 30 years after the previous one. A lot has changed during that time, but the main characters still feel like the same people. I'm not sure that's a good thing - I think the authors might have been able to do more to show us how these people have changed during those three decades.

Babylon's Ashes was one of my favorite books in the series. I didn't like this one as much. The story just wasn't as compelling for me. I did like the way the main antagonist was portrayed as a guy who was trying to do the right thing (in his view) and just kept making the wrong decision. I also thought the descriptions of the Belter culture of insurgency were done well.
