James S.A. Corey: Abaddon's Gate (Paperback, 2013, Orbit) 4 stars

For generations, the solar system — Mars, the Moon, the Asteroid Belt — was humanity's …

Entertaining, but not as strong as the previous two books

3 stars

Same formula as Leviathan Wakes and Caliban's War. The story revolves around and is told from the perspective of a number of main characters, whose storylines come together eventually. However, in this case, the main characters were a lot less relatable than in the previous two books.

It took some buildup for the story to gain some traction, but once that happened, ithe book became hard to put down.

I would have given it 3.5 out of 5. It was not as good as the first two books (which were both solid 4/5s), but it was still a thoroughly enjoyable read.
