James S.A. Corey’s Persepolis Rising
This was kind of weird, because there’s like a THIRTY YEAR TIME JUMP, but the main characters are all exactly the same, doing the same jobs on their same ship and haven’t even managed to adopt any new crew members in all that time. I mean, it’s kind of sad! But I get why there has to be a big time jump for plot reasons, as we finally see what the people behind all the bad stuff from the last couple books have been up to—namely, planning an empire under an immortal dictator. SURE, WHY NOT. I actually liked this book a lot despite *hand waving* all that, because there’s lots of interesting political stuff going on and lots of little plots and plans, and I enjoy that sort of thing. Plus Bobbie! Very intrigued to see where things go next. A-.
