Question for those who have read them: is the whole *The Expanse* series good? - eviltoast

I’ve read the first two books and enjoyed them both. I enjoyed the TV series. But I see there are nine novels and eight novellas in the series, and I know the book series goes on longer than the TV series. I’m curious: is the quality fairly consistent or, like a lot of longer book series, does it degrade over time?

Edit: Thanks everyone! Sounds like the vast majority of folks enjoyed all of the books - enough that I’ll probably read them all. I have other books on my reading list, so I might take breaks and read some of those in between.

I really appreciate all the responses. Thank you all. Upvotes all around!

    Hey, that’s great. I’m glad you enjoyed it. Different readers are looking for different things.

    I think a good example of sci-fi that can keep up the “new sci-fi concepts continuously” is the Three Body Problem trilogy, if you haven’t read it yet.

      I have read rememberance of earth’s past trilogy. Well continously here meant for 9 books, If a series wanted to stop at 3 books a lot easier to manage new sci-fi topics. But if you are looking for something that is going for a while, I don’t think there are any good ones other than expanse.

      Happy to be proven wrong.
