Just finished Tiamat's Wrath... Fantastic book and I really enjoyed it. It'll be really fun to watch the adaptation if it makes to that point.
Few thoughts.
Spoiler!
Loads of conflict, lots of action and overall a thrilling ride start to finish and some tough parts. The first line of that book with Avasarala, and then with Bobby
I'm not sure how I really feel about the Duarte story line and the whole poke the bear bit with the "Goths". They portrayed Duarte as a very rational person that was dozens if not hundreds of steps beyond everyone else, but he did not have the foresight to plan for scientific studies to try to figure out and study who/what killed the ring gate aliens before trying to bomb the crap out of them? Seems very out of character.
I don't like that the resistance decided to blow up the shipyards, in the middle of the attack by the "Goths" that wiped out Medina. Seems like killing off one of the only resources that could hurt the aliens at all while the aliens can turn everyone's brain off, and are getting better and better at it. Sure they need to throw off the yoke of the oppressor Laconians and all, but at the cost of losing a resource to fight the aliens?
So is Amos like an immortal alien terminator now?
