simonator 's review for:

Persepolis Rising by James S. A. Corey
4.5
adventurous dark tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Interesting change from the previous style. The bad guys are three-dimensional, Singh is a fantastic villain, the politics are challenging in their ambivalence. The unfolding of parallel plots across the two main stages - Sol and Medina - act interact in engaging ways.
