I still remember when I first read a book by James S. A. Corey - I remember sitting in a park in Brooklyn reading a copy of Leviathan Wakes I borrowed from the library. I already loved space opera and it hit me right in the right spot. I continued to enjoy the series, although I didn’t love the time jump and the final book feel flat to me.
So I was really excited a few years ago when I got an eARC of the first book of their new space opera trilogy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I thought it was good but grim and that grimness made it a slog to get through. I still wanted to read the next book, because I wanted to find out what happened in the story.
Well, the next book is here. I also got an eARC of The Faith of Beasts from the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. And I gotta say, this one was even more of a slog. The overall plot did not seem to move forward enough and it felt like the characters’ situations were just as grim as when the last book ended. I’m not sure if I’ll read the final volume, but this book sure has soured me on Corey.
