I think I can just start copy-pasting my reviews for Expanse short fiction at this point. Like the others, Gods of Risk is a nice exposé for a character and setting critical to the main series. This one ended on a happier note than the other novellas, which was refreshing.

It was decent but easily the worst Expanse thing I've read yet

Liz Griffin

Bobbie Draper’s teen nephew is the central character of this novella, and I would have liked it better if it had centered more around her instead of David. They adapted some of this content into the 4th season of the show, and I admit I like that version better.
