I’m almost halfway through the series now, and at the moment, I do think that the series is slightly overrated. That’s also why my review for the series continuously gets shorter, because there aren’t many new elements to talk about with each new installment. “It’s in my job description.”Īs much as I enjoyed Cibola Burn, I must also admit that the series is starting to get a bit stale and too repetitive. “Last man standing,” Amos replied with another grin. In other words, I can sum up Cibola Burn as being a step-up to the things that Abaddon’s Gate didn’t get right for me. The main villain of this novel-Murtry-was cold-blooded and intimidating as a villain. In a way that’s a bit similar to Prax, one of the new POV character here-Basia-deals with his struggle in doing everything he can to protect his family. For the remaining crew of the Rocinante, Naomi and Alex also have to cooperate while they’re separated from Holden and Amos. In Cibola Burn, it was engrossing to see how much the friendship and trust between Holden and Amos grew. The superb parts about this book, and pretty much the series, have always been the characters. “Later, when you’re wishing we had this stuff, I am going to be merciless in my mockery. However, Holden and the crew of Rocinante continue to entertain with their great relationship developments, and the new POV characters were, in my opinion, far more engaging than the one we had in Abaddon’s Gate. There aren’t many noteworthy things to elaborate in terms of plot the series has followed a formulaic storytelling structure for the past three books, and it’s still the same here.
Little did they know that in addition to being mediator, the planet of Ilus also has their own danger such as blindness plague, deadly slugs, and deadly storms. To mediate, Avasarala sends Holden and the crew of Rocinante to Ilus to resolve the matter. Not only there’s no coffee, but the tension between the people on the planet of Ilus is rising.
And after the previous books- Abaddon’s Gate and the novellas/short stories of the series which I’ve read so far- which left me disappointed, I was seriously scared this one would be even worse.
Cibola Burn brings The Expanse back to its good form.Ĭibola Burn, the fourth volume in The Expanse series, has often been said as the weakest book of the series.
