Rewatching The Expanse for the nth time. It always cracks me up to see Bobby Draper stuffing those cucumber sandwiches into her face. Do you want some?

I’ve been interested in reading the books, but I’m a little weirded out by the tag-team approach by two authors. Would you say that this is noticeable, or that they maintain a consistent quality no matter who is doing the writing?

(Please sell me on reading these.)

I’ve read all nine and I can’t say that I noticed any real differences between the two.

Each chapter in the books is written from a specific character’s perspective. From what I understand, each of the characters was written consistently by one author or the other. So, for instance, all the Naomi chapters would be written by the same person. They may not have stuck 100% to that, but I think that’s how they tried to fit things together.

We only know it’s two people because we’ve been told it is. If we’d not been told, there’s nothing to make you think otherwise.
