How humanity came to the planet called Anjiin is lost in the fog of history, …

A promising start

I was nervous that I wouldn't like the new series from "James S.A. Corey" because it would be too much like the Expanse series, or they wouldn't have any new ideas. But it turns out I my fears were groundless.

It's got fascinating aliens, humans that think differently from each other, some of them coping with serious mental illness, and a base human culture that is similar, but fundamentally different to ours.

I really enjoyed this and really want to know what happens next.
