This is the only minor issue I had on the book, and thankfully, Corey more than made up for it in the second half of the novel. But with or without her, the progression and the final result of the series will still be the same. Tanaka is actually an interesting character, and it’s great to have her on the opposing side of the crew of the Rocinante. I don’t have any issue with her POV per se, but I also didn’t feel like her character felt necessary to explore. Tanaka, as far as I know, is a new POV character in the series. Honestly speaking, the only reason why Leviathan Falls didn’t receive a full 5 stars rating from me is due to Tanaka’s POV in the first half of the novel. It’s the final volume in the series, and although I didn’t feel like I was bored with any of the pages written here, I also wondered whether the first half of the novel-mainly Tanaka’s hunting session-needed to be that long. But in a way, it also felt like a beginning of a new self-contained installment. Leviathan Falls continue from where Tiamat’s Wrath left off. “The love of a parent for their kid is the last thing to go.”

Endings are hard to nail, and the authors should be proud of this achievement. Yes, this is the end, and it’s an emotional and satisfying conclusion.

Corey duo is the first big space opera series ever finished to its completion. Comprising of nine novels and multiple short stories and novellas, The Expanse by James S.A. This is why this review is a new milestone for me. If you’ve been following my reading journey for a while, then you might realize that usually, the long series I finished are all epic fantasy series. My last review of 2021 is for the conclusion to the first big space opera series of novels I’ve ever finished to its completion, and I’m glad it’s The Expanse.Īnd so here we are, at the end of another long series.
