I’m most of the way through The Mercy of Gods by James S.A. Corey, before I go back to The Expanse & finish that series.
I liked the novella (Livesuit) in the same universe more for some reason (I had a hard time getting into TMoG though, maybe I'll try it again)
I didn’t know there was a novella in the series already. Now I’ll have something to read once I’m done with this. Thanks for mentioning it!
Was there anything in particular you didn’t like about TMoG that made it hard for you to get through.
No! It has a lot of things I liked in it and overall I liked the story, but for whatever reason, it just felt like a slog whenever I actually read it! No clue why, but something with it was just difficult for me to get through. Since then, I've read a couple dozen other books, I think I'll try giving it another go now that I've read through it and know I do like the story, hopefully I'll find it more enjoyable this time around or maybe I'll try it in a different format and go for an audiobook this time around and see if that helps.
