I’ve finally gotten around to The Expanse series and I’m about a third of the way into Cibola Burn, the 3rd book.
I really enjoyed the first two and I’m liking this one but it’s starting a bit slower then the other and I find the tension ratcheting up different not worse but different.
The hive mind generally says Corolla Burn is the slowest, so if you’re enjoying it you’ll likely enjoy those that come after.
Those books could have benefited from a more scrupulous editor, but are good nonetheless!
Yeah but I find most authors 4th or so books start need better editorship. I think it's more of an industry / ego problem. Once an author get to a certain level of notoriety they get editors who don't feel comfortable tell them to tighten up their work. A lot of authors figure it out around the 5th to 7th book though so sometime I just slog through I guess.
