    I found 'Caliban's War' to be more focused on character development compared to its predecessor, and I really enjoyed that aspect. It kept me engaged throughout, and now I can't wait to dive into book 3 right away.

    I thought the addition of new characters was enjoyable, but the plot felt too prolonged. Moreover, the villains lacked depth, resulting in a less satisfying payoff for the heroes' triumph. While I preferred the first book, I still plan on reading the next installment. The main antagonist remains a significant threat, but this particular story doesn't significantly advance that particular plotline. It's more like just another narrative. If you wanted to, you could likely skip this book and jump straight to book 3 without missing any crucial developments.

    Caliban's War, the second installment in the series following Leviathan Wakes, is an absolutely captivating and enthralling read. With its intricately developed characters and multiple viewpoints, the book further enriches the already thriving universe of space pirates, heroes, villains, and all the mind-blowing excitement that comes with science fiction.

    I almost returned this book and wanted to give up on the series, but I decided to stick with it and I'm glad I did. The reason I almost gave up was because of James Holden. I really, really dislike him. He's like this overly religious and self-righteous person who acts like he's the ruler of the entire solar system. Christian Avasarela summed it up perfectly when she said, "Holden is a fool, but he's not dumb. Never underestimate his ability to mess things up." But then, halfway through the book, just when I thought all the character storylines were going downhill, Holden finally gets what he deserves, and that was definitely the highlight of the book for me. He started to wise up and stopped ruining the whole story. That's when things started to get interesting. I have to say, my favorite character is Christian Avasarela. She was a blast and incredibly well-developed. Some reviewers didn't appreciate her use of vulgar language, but that's one of the things that made her so fantastic. To those reviewers, I would say, get over it. I will definitely be recommending this book.

    Dude, these books seriously capture the essence of what life could be like if we ever manage to leave Earth and start colonizing other planets in our solar system. It's like they've thought of every little detail, even the political stuff, but it's not boring at all. It's like a glimpse into the future of our species, man. I'm totally obsessed with these books. If you're into sci-fi, this will transport you to a whole new level of realism. Believe me, you gotta check it out.

    I'm really looking forward to diving into the next installment! The storylines in 'Caliban's War' are absolutely incredible. It would've been awesome if the TV show had stuck to the book's dialogue and scenes completely.

    Just like the previous book in the Expanse series, the author continues to provide captivating and intriguing descriptions of the universe. In fact, this book takes a step further in enhancing the technological aspects and world-building compared to its predecessor. However, I must admit that my praise ends there. The plot itself is rather predictable and the characters are quite flat and lacking depth. It seems like the intention was to make all the characters appear badass in their own unique ways, but it came across as forced. Both Avasarala and Holden are particularly guilty of this portrayal. I had high expectations for the series after the impressive start with Leviathan Wakes, but unfortunately, I won't be continuing with the series after reading this book.

    The characters in 'Caliban's War' are really interesting and each of them has their own goals, but somehow everything manages to make sense in the end. This book is even better than the first one because it expands beyond just two character perspectives. It also does a great job of explaining the political and cultural factions, which adds depth to the story. Can't wait to get my hands on book three!

    'Caliban's War' opens up the universe of the Expanse even further, offering us crucial insights into the inner planets. Despite the presence of war throughout the book, it's evident that this is just the quiet before the real storm hits.
