I just finished book 6 of the expanse. I live this series so much! I love great hard magic systems which this is, and the author is a bit Frederick Backman esk with how well his writing gets me to feel the emotions and moments of the characters.

I've tried to watch the TV show and quit after the first season. I was just so confused. Once I finish the books later this year I'm gonna watch the series to the end of it.

Book series is 10/10 for me.

I started watching the show originally and it was just so slow that I quit watching and picked up the books.

It's one of my my favorite book series ever.

It's been several years since I tried to watch the show. So I'm doing my first watch through currently. It's still slow. Lol but I know the material so I'll stick it out.

    Agreed. I think it's just slow till they get the roci..

    I'm on the gas hauler episode and it's a lot better.

    But I'm glad I read the series first.

    I just finished book 9 tonight actually. I admit that I wasn’t super hooked with the show right away, but I stuck with it and it got really good. The books are definitely better at drawing you in right away. I have to say though, I very much see the actors in my mind for all of the characters. Even the ones who were summarily dismissed because of bad behavior, sigh.
