More "The Expanse" would be awesome.
Nah, maybe one more season... but the last few books are not that good.
😲
What didn't you like about them?
It just gets... dumber? It's pretty subjective though.
Spoiler alert
Not a dumb part, but the main characters, being separated for a long time, don't get their own interesting storylines. It seems like authors got bored with characters and didn't know what to do with them. New characters are usually boring. Duarte's daughter, Kamal's son - they are just background... The only strong character in focus is Tanaka.
Ah ok, I see. Well I want to be clear, if someone is interested in reading, don't be deterred by this, make your own opinion. My wife and I loved every book. I really liked Amos' trajectory especially.
To touch on how I interpreted your points in the story (CONTAINS SPOILERS AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO HIDE THEM):
-It pointed out the higher dimension beings couldn't actually pinpoint anything in our spacetime unless a huge amount of energy was released at the exact moment we crossed their dimension through the gates. -It seemed to me that everyone was scared of duarte and even more scared of modifying themselves with protomolecule after his "coma" where he killed someone instantly. -I think I remember the Laconians basically being arrogant and underestimating everyone.
I hear that you have a different opinion and maybe you got burnt out on the books, but I really hope the show finishes them up because I enjoyed them.
