You were suicidal at one point? Actually went through with trying to kill yourself, only thwarted by a security measure? Wow.Īnd let’s not forget YOU HAVE A KID! A…kid partially responsible for the worst catastrophe to happen to Earth since humans have been on it…but a kid nevertheless. They suspected!Īnd we visit that dark, dark place that you were in. You had a homicidal terrorist ex boyfriend who you had a kid with? And you were unwittingly part of the OPA? Now we know why you Mars was interrogating you so harshly waaaaay back when in Leviathan Wakes. Now we know your pain and how you ended up on the Canterbury. Okay, let’s get this review party started, shall we? It’s time to go from spoiler-free to spoiler-y. And you get to experience Naomi and Alex’s trauma as they reconnect with their past lives. I know some of them got novellas to flesh out their characters, but really, we hadn’t gotten to know them a ton before this book.īut not now! Now I get to hear Amos’s murder-y thoughts, along with his thoughts on what is moral or isn’t. I felt like they had been relegated to side characters somewhat in the previous books Amos being the muscle, Naomi being Holden’s smart gf, and Alex being the hotshot pilot that was a little past his prime. Oh, it was such a joy to read things from the perspective of Amos, Naomi, and Alex. Even the setup to all the events going to shit is really interesting since, unlike the other The Expanse books, the other non-Holden POV characters this time are THE CREW OF THE ROCINATE! The action is very well paced through the entire book and keeps you enthralled the entire time. You know when you get one of those books that you just can’t put down, that you blow off other things in real life to read? That’s Nemesis Games.

ZOMG, Nemesis Games is far and away not only my favorite book in The Expanse, not only my favorite book read so far in 2016, but might be one of my favorite fiction books of all time. I saw other very favorable reviews before I read it, along the lines of “It’s great, much better than books 3 and 4, though those books do set up book 5 very well.”, and was worried that I had hyped it up too much in my head, but fortunately that wasn’t the case this time. Nemesis Games is amazing, like legit amazing. Whitnie on Step by Step Instructions: How…Įnsignlee on Step by Step Instructions: How…Ĭartik Seshan on Step by Step Instructions: How…
