Too bad it’s so short, only a trilogy. I love the way they try to describe stuff given only having our perspective. Not-turtles, night drinkers, nothing is what it seems. The Expanse is more space centric than The Captives War though. permalink fedilink source parent [–] spacehedgehog@lemmy.world [S] 2 points 4 months ago unfortunately, I've already watched the series. I was not aware that the story originated from a book (well, books). Is this a problem? Do the books have substantially more story than the serie? permalink fedilink source parent [–] aldhissla@piefed.world 1 point 4 months ago milowda! permalink fedilink source parent
