Its about damn time...

Been waiting for them to come out with a all in one comp of all the expanse novellas, and here it is. Great value credit wise compared to having to individually get one by one and that new novella at the end was just what i needed to cleanse my palette of the perverbial taste of the despare that this series ending brought on. Its a nice lil bonus to send us off with that im greatful for. Awesome work as always. I can't wait to see what they dream up next!

Really enjoyed digging into the side stories

Really liked the author's commentary post-story! loved hearing how things panned out for some of the tertiary characters and the open end to many of the stories

What a treat!

These stories are not written - they are crafted. They run deep and wide meriting thoughtful reflection

Perfect for anyone craving more Expanse

Just came across Memory's Legion series of short stories that fill in gaps and unexplored avenues from The Expanse main series of books.
The Churn was especially impressive. I'd never really cared about the Baltimore related stories in the main series, but this short story was one of my favorite parts of The Expanse overall. Others are great too.

The final loose end of The Expanse tied up.

Jefferson Mays narrates the final chapter and loose end that I think a lot of The Expanse readers were curious about and does an excellent job doing so. From a story point of view, like the closing of Leviathan Falls, the ending is not what some might expect, but it's the "right" way to end.

An astoundingly good book!

I am envious of the imagination, writing abilities, and intellect of these authors. The Expanse series is my favorite book(s) of all time!! Jefferson Mays is a fantastic narrator. I feel empty now that I have finished the complete story. Please write more.

Tying up loose ends

Some of it felt slow at times, in that sort of rythmic, steady, set up the Expanse stories manage in their thoughtful details, but then those details are important. Well placed. They build to something worth exploring. A lot of my enjoyment from these stories came from having finished the series. I doubt they would have been as gratifying as stand alones without context. The fact that they offer glimpses of stories only inferred in the greater context of the series makes them all the more satiating. At the same time, they left me wanting more from a story I thought I was done with.
