![]() The colonisation of the thousands of other planets is happening apace. In the first novels of the Expanse series, humanity’s expansion through the solar system was the source of excitement, but in Tiamat’s Wrath we scaled up. Not spectacular, but it’s not tripping me up all the time, and individual chapters were crafted well, to my enjoyment. Also, the writing on the sentence and paragraph levels feels more inspired. ![]() It avoids the middle book syndrome of so many trilogies by giving us some of that big epic stuff with ancient aliens that I’ve been craving since book three. But Tiamat’s Wrath (2019) proved me wrong. It is actually – gasp – a little bit good. After the uncomfortable time jump in Persepolis Rising(2017), which I took for a really clumsy setup for a new trilogy, I had little hope for enjoyment in this series without heavy rolling of the eyes. ![]()
