I haven't started it yet, I reread Bullshit Jobs again and then the last entry in The Expanse series came out a couple weeks ago so I just read that and I've had this copy of Caliban And The Witch that I found at work sitting on my desk reminding me to get to it at some point. It's not too long so I should have some impressions on it within the week.
I liked it, I can't say I didn't see the ending coming from the last book but that's not necessarily a bad thing. It ended about the only way it could have what with all of the proto-molecule and cosmic horror stuff that gets built on in the later books.
Also you should definitely pick it up again, there are a few of the most impactful moments in all the sci-fi I have ever read in terms of character development and story arcs along the way. The fifth book seems like a bit of a departure from the overall narrative but it is actually necessary to drive the events of the remaining half of the story and is interesting in its own right, much more character focused and the crew spends most of it separated by circumstance.
Read it a while back but I think it's essential reading for a modern communist. Really details how gender and socially reproductive labor is incredibly important in the continuing primitive accumulation of how capital functions. Wonderfully written too.
Finally gonna start reading Caliban And The Witch.
ooh tell me how is it!

how is the last entry to The Expanse? I left off after they opened the portals and settled the first planet
