You know that feeling when you're 1/8th of the way through a book and you have no idea what it's about or what's going on, and have no connection to any of the characters...

I'm not finding a lot of time to sit down and read at the moment, but this one has definitely picked up. After a shaky first 50 pages, I'm not totally invested and can't wait to finish.

My next paper read. I LOVE the Expanse, so I'm hoping for big things from this one, too. :D

I kinda did, since the only character that really gripped in me leviathan wakes was Miller and they kill him off at the end while everyone else felt a little generic or underdeveloped
Loved that book. The best book I read last year,

I went in to the books with connections to characters already established.

In any new series it always feels the gears are spinning without engagement…then magically (if I like the story haha) the gears engage and Im in jt
