Leviathan Wakes

Having watched the show before finishing the book, I knew ahead of time that not much would be different in terms of the plot. It was still nice to sit down and spend some more time with the world as the story opened up. Miller's POV is definitely the stronger of the two since his follows a more formulaic structure, but Holden's POV has its highlights. The world is fully realized and feels like a future that I could see humans embarking on in a couple hundred years. The characterization felt slightly flat for the most part, but there was enough to go off of to get a feel for each character; this is something I think the show did a little better, but visual media has that added benefit. Had I not seen the show beforehand, my opinions may be a little different. All in all, a good start to a series that I plan on finishing in the coming year, hopefully in time for the final book.
