Quick question for any Expanse show + book readers out there. Will the last season have spoilers for book 9? I'm almost done with Tiamat's wrath but don't have Leviathan Falls yet and love watching this show with my dad. I'm guessing he'll want to watch it during the holidays. Will the final season spoil the last book? Mostly I'm worried they'll try and squeeze in a rushed explanation of the species that killed the protomolecule builders. Especially since the last season seems to be rushing through 3 books.

The show ends well before the books. No spoilers for the last two books in the show.

I have no idea how they're going to wrap up the show so who knows?

Won’t season 6 end where book 6 ends? Book 7 (have not read yet) is some 30 years after events of books (and seasons) 1-6, I think,

They're going to skip a lot to get to the end, just tie up the main story arcs without seeing them all live to a hundred...

Confirmed. A few teases for the last three books, but nothing crazy.

I could see a short epilogue, maybe, but shouldn’t be much with only 6 episodes to fit it all in anyway.

But I’ve only read through book 6 and haven’t started season 6 yet, so ¯\__(ツ)__/¯

Is the writing for the show any better than that of the books? Neat storylines, but I found the writing to be absolutely horrible
DoctorSniffles
I felt absolutely the same. It's rare to find a book with such great overarching plot but lackluster writing. Back to Dan Simmons after this
DoctorSniffles
I will say though that the show adds A LOT to the series. Expands and gives life to many characters that flounder without it. Avasaral and¹

Amos are amazingly well cast and acted. The show does a phenomenal job. It's worth watching. 2/2
