Even better than the first, and I can’t wait to continue this adventure! This book follows Holden and his crew, plus a few new faces, as they discover that the protomolcule is still fucking shit up in the universe. 

You know, I was worried I wouldn’t find a character to really like this book after Miller left, but I found my new love—Avasarala. God, she’s the best. I love her no-nonsense attitude, her sense of humor, and how she’s just a total badass bitch to everyone. Just the best. I was kind of worried that these guys wouldn’t be able to really write a female character that I liked, but I was so wrong. She was the best, but every part of this book was enjoyable. I’m really liking the scale of this conflict—I understand why the series is so big, instead of just like a trilogy. There are so many more things I want to explore in this universe, and I can’t wait to do it!
