James S. A. Corey are not the most amazing lyricists, so at over 550 pages, this could've easily been a slog. But it isn't—because they never.break.momentum. The chapters are short and in every single one, something major moves the plot forward, another puzzle piece is put in place or a cliffhanger pulls you along. And Corey never become so enamored with their own worldbuilding for it to take center stage for too long. It's all larger-than-life stuff infused with a sense of boyish wonder, so don't expect a great work of art. But all in all, this was really entertaining read, and I‘m already looking forward to starting part two.
3.5–Rounded for Goodreads and rounded up for ... being fun!
