The Faith of Beasts

I won't spoil this for those who have not started the series, but I will say that this sequel is superior to the first book in every way. It introduces a host of fascinating new characters, both human and alien, and sends familiar characters into surprising (even shocking) uncharted places. Carryx civilization is further illuminated for the reader and the more we learn, the more I want this to be more than just a trilogy. I rated the first book - The Mercy of Gods - a little lower than this one but it is definitely worth reading to set up this excellent book and what I anticipate will be a remarkable finale. Anyone who read The Expanse is aware that James S.A. Corey knows how to stick the landing.
