Abaddon's Gate slowed to a crawl after the halfway point, to a degree that I asked myself if it was the book's fault or mine that I was losing interest. But then things came back online and the book was engrossing again. Unfortunately I never felt as attached to the new POV characters as I did with those in Caliban's War. I'm hoping to see Bobbie and Avasarala again, but won't be too sad to never hear from this book's additions again.

Overall, I feel this was a great next step in the series. Recommended!
