Okay so now this is actually finally it - my reading of The Expanse is finally over with the final short story released. As before all the short stories (with the exception of the RPG) were read from Memory's Legion, a compendium that all series like this should have available (I'm looking at you Cosmere).
The novella itself was not what I was expecting. Rather than an epilogue of sorts, it was another side story, albeit one set after the events of Leviathan Falls. This shouldn't have come as a surprise given how tangential the other short stories were, and I can only blame myself for expecting it to offer any kind of closure.
That said, it was actually one of the better short stories available, paced just right as well as adding flavour to the small amount of the post-ring world we were given. In that sense it is actually a decent way to exit the books, again with its non-essential nature proving to be where its value lies.
