Eat any good books lately?

[Potato]

Finally finished Persepolis Rising (The Expanse book 7).

I was really concerned that I wasn't going to enjoy it after the first few chapters. Felt like a retread of themes that had already been covered in earlier books.

Once it settled into its groove though, things got very good.

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

Taking Holden off the board allowed the supporting characters some much-needed room to breathe and develop enough to keep me interested. I don't think I could have handled 3 more books of Mary Sue Holden solving the universe's problems with his annoying virtue.

Don't get me wrong, it's been entertaining enough, but I wasn't prepared for these 3 books to be more of the same, which is part of the reason it's taken me so long to get to them.
