View submission: The Best Books of 2024 Winners!
Personally I loved the Expanse series and found it even better having watched the show. It starts off a bit slow since there's a lot of world-building to set up, but once it takes off it is addicting. The audiobooks are *fantastic* and one of the few I'd recommend over reading the book.

It's a series I'll probably go back to at some point, I didn't really give it a fair shot. My initial impression was the writing wasn't that amazing and the fact that I knew what was going to happen made the plot and world building less engaging (and I suspect those last two are what would have drawn me to the book). I'm both a picky reader and someone who maybe struggles more than others with knowing what's going to happen. It's not the first book I dropped because I had seen the tv show and I've certainly dropped tv shows / movies because I'd read the book already.
