Just finished book 3 and I will say the added railway layout confusion kinda took me out of the story, I would find myself rewinding full descriptions several times and still not understanding. The author took a lot of time to describe the different train lines and all the stations but I just stopped caring because it really didn’t matter. Just annoying he took the time to explain everything but it still made no sense.
Book 4 starts way better, with the showrunner explaining the rules and the objectives as soon as they get to the 5th floor.


I was upset about the expanse too. Talked to a coworker for a while about it and he said go read the books, just start at book 7 you really won’t be missing much. So I did and immediately knew the 30 year time jump wouldn’t have worked on screen. We still might get more a few years down the line when the actors age up. Also I’m glad I got into the books it was the spark that got me into audiobooks. Started listening to the expanse authors new series and I think that’s getting picked up by Amazon as well.
