You can definitely tell this is written by men, but they also seemed to be trying to write women well. Also, the benevolent sexism didn't cross over to gross for me, but I can see where others would disagree, especially where Miller's obsession with Julie is concerned. One mitigating factor for me is that it's clear pretty early on that he can't really hurt her no matter how obsessed he becomes.

Plot is intriguing and well-crafted. It never really feels like anything is unnecessary. The mystery and politics were well made, which only added to the interesting world building.

Some characters’ motivations for moving forward felt a little on the flimsy side but overall it was fine.

If you’ve watched the TV series: the first season is pretty accurate in terms of following the book content. You just get some more insight into the characters reasonings in the book. And the book doesn’t have any on-page sex - that was just added to the TV series.

I've not wanted to read the entirety of the rest of a series with this much enthusiasm since Harry Potter. I will not be reading anything else until I finish the Expanse at this point.
Just hands down fantastic.
