I'm having a hard time justifying reading those books after watching the show. I feel like typically the book gives me a vastly different experience from the on-screen adaptation. But The Expanse screenwriters did such a great job transferring it to a TV series it feels like I'm reading exactly what I already watched.

Miller in the book and on screen was one of my favourite characters ever, watching Thomas Jane own that role makes it worth it. I was really interested to learn that the book was written by two people, one wrote Miller, the other wrote the other (annoying) guy.

I felt that way but I’m on book two and it’s totally worth reading them. They’re even better. Not that the show isn’t good, the books are just fantastic.

That wears off at season 5. There is a lot of divergence from the book there already.
