Hands down, the best science fiction I've ever come across. A realistic, scientifically accurate, depiction of human expansion into our solar system, and the struggles of human nature on a grander scale. There's mystery and intrigue, with a wonderfully terrifying take on extra-solar life and first contact. I loved how rich and complex the different cultures of humanity are in this story. The world building is off the charts. I especially resonated with the Belters, who have become an entire race of human beings who cannot go "home" to earth, even if they wanted to. The physical repercussions of generations of people born and raised in low gravity, and how that contributes to the political climate between the inner planets and the outer planets is so so interesting and well done. Favorite science fiction series by far.beaundarrows's review against another edition

For the first time since starting to listen to audiobooks, I turned the speed up, just a little, and I didn't hate it. Just 1.5 times. I can't stand 2x, I've tried that before.
3.5 out of 5 stars! I enjoyed it, had a good time, it was interesting. I'll probably continue with the series. I'd like to give the TV show a try also. I could see a lot of this happening in my mind's eye, and I'd like to see how others envisioned it.
