Review of 'Leviathan Wakes' on 'Storygraph'

5 stars

This book had been on my to-read list for quite some time, but the recent announcement regarding it's conversion to a TV show spurred my need to read this. Now that I have, I'm wondering why it took me this long.



The story moves at a good pace with a "can't put it down" feel. The characters are fantastic and really left me missing them after I finished the book. Leviathan Wakes is not in the category of hard science, but the authors do a reasonable job of keeping things in a realistic perspective and have built a solar system wide economy that is completely believable. This is good old fashioned Space Opera the way it should be and I am really looking forward to seeing this made into a TV series.
