Babylon's Ashes

I really enjoyed the previous entries in the series (especially Cibola Burn). However, I made it a quarter of the way through when I realized that I've been forcing myself to want to read it and what's the point of that? Too many books I want to read to waste time on something like this.

As other reviews have said, absolutely nothing happens for chapters at a time. If you want to read a story about the inane details of space mercenary life, you might enjoy it. Far too much Holden exposition. The futuresque, socio-political paradigms that Corey is so fond of feel forced (over and over again) instead of fluid and sensical. I'm all for looking into the future and seeing how progress might change social norms and mass cultural psychology but it needs to feel fitting instead of jarring and downright awkward.

I have enjoyed the books series up to now (I even kind of liked the show) but this one does it for me. Too many books and not enough time to waste it on something like this.
