![]() Clarissa is also such a weird POV character because she’s just criminally insane. Now the main villain is a captain who goes moderately off the rails, and we get a POV from Bull, who is…yeah, he’s pretty much Miller. In the first two books the protomolecule was indisputably the villain we had trace interactions with Admiral Nguyen and Jules Kwikaowski-Mao or whatever his name is, but the main threat was the alien goo. Probably my favorite scene in the entire series is Bobbie singing “anything you can do, I can do better” while she casually kites the protomolecule monster around and kills it in a 1v1.Ībaddon’s Gate is a weird one. I find it interesting that one of the most important characters in the series, Fred Johnson, actually never gets a POV chapter (well until his death in Babylon’s Ashes) but we are immediately presented with Avasarala and Bobbie even though they are sporadically important in later books. These characters have complex backstories and motivations which are directly opposed to Holden’s. Seriously, none of his decisions are self consistent and a lot of the time the motivation is entirely lacking.Ĭaliban’s War introduces the two best characters in the series, Avasarala and Bobbie. Holden is definitely my least favorite POV character because he has basically no brains and just manages to get through situations due to pure luck and Naomi/Alex/Amos being infinitely more competent than anyone else in the universe at their jobs. However it’s also kind of the worst book in the series because Miller and Holden are the only POV characters (Julie doesn’t count) and they’re literally next to each other for half of the book. Leviathan Wakes is the best book in the series because of how crazy the protomolecule is when you first find out about it.
