The Expanse (Book Series) Archives - The Wallflower Digest

Leviathan Falls by James S.A. Corey 3/5 stars The final book in this 9-book series, and I found it a bit disappointing. Not a bad ending, it was just adequate. If I re-read this series again, I’ll probably stop at book 5.

A lackluster end to the series, but I actually finished a 9 books series and that never happens! - ⭐⭐⭐ 3/5

Tiamat’s Wrath (The Expanse #8) by James S. A. Corey

3 StarsDecember 6, 2025

I enjoyed it, but not as much as others in the series. - ⭐⭐⭐ 3/5 Stars

Persepolis Rising by James S.A. Corey 3.5/5 stars The beginning of the final arc for the series. This was all set up with a plot that didn’t pull me along. I’m hoping the final two books have the payoff for this one. Also, I found the 30-year time jump very distracting!

Better than Babylon's Ashes, but it's all set up for the final arc of the series, and I never felt pulled along by the plot. ⭐⭐⭐ 3.5/5 Stars

A bit of a lull in the series - ⭐⭐⭐ 3/5

Nemesis Games by James SA Corey 4/5 Stars Thrilling 5th book full of character developement, high stakes all around and huge shattering events. I could not put it down!
