I loved Leviathan Wakes but Caliban's War took a bit of a dip for me. It introduced a character that I couldn't gel with (Bobbie) and another character that I dislike returned

in the epilogue

. Bobbie is a lot more bearable in the book, but the actor in the show is a bit over the top with the character (that doesn't affect my review). I still wasn't invested in Avasarala - she's really awful in this book and

her team up with Bobbie meant I had two POVs that I didn't particularly enjoy

, so that made the book feel slower 😒 Avasarala's  later chapters were really funny, so maybe I might like her POVs in the following books. 

This is the first Expanse book (of 2 novels and 4 short stories) that I haven't enjoyed as much. I'm going to see how book 3 goes and decide from there whether or not to continue with the series.
