I stalled at book 5 after reading them in a row (just felt like a change)...after just watching season 3 on netflix i think it might be time to jump back in after my current book

I'm on book one. Really enjoying it so far. 

Looking forward to watching it on Amazon once I have read ahead of the shows

Got my copy on good old fashioned paper on Monday. In universe that's some serious swag

 Probably about 1/3 of the way through.

Spoilers up to p.206:

Quite like having Elvi and Fayez back from Book 4. Science nerds on tour! They got married. Awwwwwww.

Sad but really not surprised by Avasarala's death since she was old as dirt in book 1, and had aged thirty-odd years since then- I think the inscription on her grave sounds like a threat.

Loved how- and where- they reintroduced Amos (Timothy is his birth name). And whose POV he appeared in. Knew they wouldn't let him go out off the page.

  I've found that the series is consistently written so that I've been coming to the same realisations, or formulating the same plan as the characters right as they do, which is good fun. 

I'm worried that not all the old Roci crew are going to make it through this one...

Lucky you - I'm still wading through Alastair Reynold's Permafrost before I can start it.

I started with S1/2 of the show when they were on Netflix, then read the books (S2 ends about halfway through book 2). The show is a *really* faithful adaptation of the book, although it wisely introduces a character we don't get until book 2 right at the start.

Ugh. Everyone needs to stop reading other books so I can talk about this one.

Just finished it. Good stuff with some really unexpected twists and a few total "WTF?!" moments. Might be my favourite...

Jalapeno

I'm in, loving it so far !

A few chapters in. Really enjoying it so far. Nice to be back with the crew.

Just in the first book at the moment, the series has been really close so far.
