The Expanse Book ... six?

The Expanse Book ... six?

No spoilers here. I'm like 200 pages in.

Because I got it yesterday. We had people over, ran errands, did stuff. Mostly, I had other things to do.

And still, I read 200 pages.

Going from moderately OK fiction to something like The Expanse is akin to going from stale bread and water to ... dining at a 1-star Michelin restaurant. Instead of eating (reading) because I don't know how to not, I remember why I love to.

I'm shocked by how good it is, how accessible it is given how good it is, and consume it faster than I should.

Then I get sad, as I know I'll never have that experience again.

Good thing there's a new Sanderson novel, too. That'll come from the library, though. The Expanse I bought, in hardback, in person.

  1. Persepilis Rising? I loved it, even though I regret the amount of time that has passed between the novels. All that story space has been burned.

  2. Nice! I picked up Leviathan Wakes from the library recently, haven't cracked it yet.

  3. Nice, Mischa Krilov! I enjoyed the crap out of that, and I envy your ability to read it for the first time.

    Neil Robinson Yeah, but now we get to see what happens!

  4. I think Persepolis is 7. I can't believe I let it go so long without reading it. I need to rectify that. Which means I need to stop reading news.
