This is my second time reading, and I think I may have enjoyed it even more than the first time!
I love that even thought this book is about war, politics, and discussion on ethics - it takes it down to the human level. The novel is told from two perspectives, one a person who always trys to do the right thing no matter what the consequences might be. And, another who does what needs to be done no matter what that might make him in the end.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes detective noir stories, morally gray hero’s, or hero’s who always do the right thing, and people who enjoy political thrillers. If you’re a sci-fi fan, you’ll enjoy it even more!

This was a lot of fun to return to. While it contains one of the weaker sets of POV characters in the series, with only Holden and Miller, the plot is compelling and I love the Rocinante crew with my whole heart. Miller is still a "sad, strange little man" (literally heard that Toy Story dialogue in my head often while reading his sections) but the book (and even Miller) is definitely aware of this and ruminates on it to an extent that I didn't really remember from my first read.
excellent spaceship content. excellent space family content. excellent "weird alien shit" content. a winner for me.
