depakartso: I loved this series. The characters were believable and they grew and developed in realistic ways over the course of time. The action was exciting and the plot was well worked out. I'd like to see the authors do this again in a different multiverse. Of course, I hate saying goodbye to this particular set of characters, but I think there comes a time when that has to happen.

Woolf,C:
OMG this book and series are so good. As well the TV version. Compelling universe/world building, a trait I first noticed getting praised in Lord of the Rings. Characters richly developed. Full of insights on human nature, science, politics and many other areas. Complex political and personal tensions. Effective sketches of mind-blowingly advanced aliens. Cool science-y and even a generally academic vibe in various fields, from biology to art-history.
As a basically minor side-note (*spoiler*?): The aversive treatment of hive-minds as an option for humans, in this book, may contrast with the (for me at least) heart-breaking regret at the end of Ender's Game, when the Hive-Queen bemoans in contrition, "never did we dream that thought could arise from the lonely animals who cannot dream each other's dreams".

Bryan Desmond:
When you read something over so long a period of time—investing hours and years into one story, one set of characters—the ending is always a bittersweet thing. Bitter, because it's over; you shall not return again. Sweet, because all good things must come to an end. And The Expanse is a very, very good thing.
Closing Leviathan Falls, I am left with a strange feeling of malaise, almost. Like something isn't quite right. Because though this is the final book in the series, and the capstone to a long journey among the stars, it didn't really feel like an ending. Or, it did, but it also didn't. Certainly, the plot threads that have been woven for the last nine books were brought to a satisfying and poignant conclusion. That is true. But there was a part of me that book down the book and thought, "It's over? We're really done?" But the thing is, I'm not sure it could be otherwise.
James S.A. Corey (Ty Franck and Daniel Abraham) have, in The Expanse, written a story about humans. Yes, it's a story in which people sail the stars; in which alien gates to other planets open; in which an extraterrestrial molecule sailed millions of light years through...

It's always a strange feeling to finish a long series of books that has entertained, enlightened, and inspired you over years of your life, sometimes even decades. The stories are like a part of your history, the characters like friends you've joyously reunited with again and again. There's a unique excitement in a new book coming out in a series you love, afterwards followed by years of extensive discussion and anticipation for the *next* book, for those of us fortunate enough to be involved with communities of fans . But eventually, that next book will be the last one.
I started reading Robert Jordan's "The Wheel of Time" in 1997, when I was in high school. WoT and the wonderful community of fellow fans who'd become like a family to me saw me graduate high school, struggle through some very difficult years, then go to college, followed by law school. The final book in the series came out while I was working my first job post-law school, a few months after I graduated. I read that book with both love and sorrow, because a part of my life was ending, something I had been able to look forward to for fifteen years. After I finished it, my life was...

One of the bst sci-fi books series I’ve ever read and I’ve been through a few.
Way more complex and interesting than the TVs series

Alexandre Esteves : Sou um pouco suspeito para falar, pois a saga The Expanse, e todos seus livros, é a melhor coisa já escrita até hoje. É uma atmosfera muito bem construída em conjunto com os personagens. Com esse desfecho, um alto preço foi pago para a conclusão da trama, mas não um preço tão alto quanto eu esperava. Fiquei com a impressão de "fechamento clichê" de filme. Esperava mais emoção, algo mais dramático. Mas também não sei se tenho essa impressão por causa do tamanho da expectativa que tive. Seja como for, acho que valeu cada centavo e cada minuto gasto e, com certeza, lerei de novo para aprofundar melhor meu conhecimento.

Frankie: Phew! What a journey! Consistent and gripping until the end. Some questions remain unanswered - unless of course I missed the explanations. If - like me - you watched The Expanse on Amazon, then aimed to read the last 3 books to finish the story, you won’t be surprised to realise that the TV series did differ from the book’s along the way **spoiler alert: Alex is still alive in book 7!**.
Therefore - for me - there is only one thing for it: I’m going back to book 1 and starting over!
