The Sins of Our Fathers

★★★★★Read Mar 31, 2022

A nice coda to a long, excellent sci-fi series. I like the anticlimax as a literary genre and this novella delivers well. Filip was never my favorite character but this story is a fitting end for him, particularly given the way the story plays out towards the end. I also appreciate the reiteration of the Expanse theme of how human societies are structured, the social glue and the role of power.
