Memory's Legion by James S.A. Corey

I had Expanse withdrawal, and Memory’s Legion proved an effective remedy.

I really enjoyed this collection of short stories, each intended to fill in some part of the Expanse universe that would have been overkill for the main storyline. As a nice bonus, the audiobook also includes author’s notes narrated by Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck themselves.

I liked that each story goes deep on one aspect of one character (often secondary characters at that) and left me with no doubt as to the depth of world building the authors have gone to.

I did find the one first-person story less enjoyable than the rest. I don’t think it was objectively bad, but the perspective and the cadence were so different to everything else in the series that I found it a little jarring.

If they wrote more, I’d be in. At the same time, Memory’s Legion gave me some closure, as it were. Well worth the read.
