The series has been designed for TV by the Syfy Network system, also within the title, as The Expanse. The very first novel, Leviathan Wakes, was selected for the Hugo Award, the Best Novel in the year 2012.As of 2015, The Expanse includes 5 principal novels and 4 shorter works which involves 2 prequel short stories, 1 prequel novella and 1 novella arranged in between the 2nd book Caliban’s War and 3rd book Abaddon’s Gate. Corey, the pen name of writers Ty Franck and Daniel Abraham. I know I’ll be waiting.The Expanse is a compilation of science fiction novels written by James S. It’s the first in a new series (the number of books is unknown to me at this time), so it may be next year or later before the next one comes out. If you’re a fan of epic fantasy, I think you really ought to check this one out. I can’t say enough good things about this book. And it is is all done so unobtrusively that you don’t even realize he’s feeding you exposition with the plot points and dialogue. The ether and etheric crystals and the characters’ understanding of how they work and their dangers play key roles in the decisions made, but at no time does the reader feel left behind or unsure as to the motivation. In both cases, Butcher shows himself to not only be creative when thinking up how the physics, science, and magic of his worlds work, but also the tactical and strategic ramifications of those discoveries and actions. One of my favorite things about this book is also probably one of my favorite things about the Codex Alera. Trade occurs using airships that navigate using crystals of power that allow them to ride the ether, the energy that transverses the world. As a result, all the remaining people live in the Cinder Spires, massive vertical towers of ancient and powerful construction left over by a precurson culture.

First and foremost, the Surface is a poisoned and unfriendly place an area where everything wants to kill you, even the air. I honestly can’t remember what Butcher named his world (and I am too tired to find it), but I do remember many of the lavish details.

And I loved them all the more for their daring and swashbuckling when hopelessly overwhelmed. Each character has a role, especially when they’re ill-suited for it. On that topic, I think it is important to point out that there are no token characters in this book. On two occasions, Rowl saves everyone’s life at great personal risk to his own. I could totally see Mu plotting my death if I were to call her a “little scavenger.” He isn’t just a gimmick character, either. Rowl reminds me very much of my own cats. Highborn among the Cats on Squire Albion, Rowl has the haughty attitude you see in all cats: fierce independence, arrogance, and the sense that you exist only at his leisure. One particular character I would like to draw your attention to is Rowl. And yet, it works! Each of the characters reads very differently, so you don’t get confused as to whose eyes you are seeing through. I remember at least five different POVs in this book (Captain Grimm, Gwen, Bridget, Rowl, Folly, and more). I think the sheer number of POV characters is what makes me feel this is epic fantasy, but perhaps the word “Steampunk” could be better used to describe Windlass. In a nutshell, the plot of Windlass is about the intrigue and events that bring unlikely allies together in order to prevent their Spire (what amounts to a Kingdom in this world) from falling prey to one of their more militant neighbors. Based on the jacket cover, this promised to be something more along the lines of the Codex Alera and away from his urban fantasy roots. Therefore, I was super excited when I saw The Aeronaut’s Windlass on the shelf at my local bookstore.

He has also written the Codex Alera, a six-book series that I would describe as more traditional (arguably epic) fantasy, and one of my favorite series of all time, although many people don’t even know these books exist. Jim Butcher is probably best known for his Dresden Files series, which is urban fantasy. I am going to try a slightly different formula for the review, though, so let me know what you think in the comments or on Facebook. I finished this book back in February, but there hasn’t been much time for reading or reviewing since then, but this one deserves to be discussed.
