Cibola Burn by James S.A. CoreyMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
This one was ok, but only as a standalone - it somehow just didn't have the same sense of scale and horror that the earlier ones had. Now it just felt like everyone's tired, overwhelmed... not really sure of what to do. Makes for a decent marooned-on-a-desert-island kind of story where otherwise minor bit characters assume larger proportions than they deserve because there's literally no others around, and sufficiently advanced technology becomes indistinguishable from magic.
Relatively decent otherwise for the science and space bits, poor on drama and ground ops. Felt too... tied down.
