Huh, I didn't even consider this one "good."
All of these are much, much better: Dune (first 4), Expanse series, Empire of Silence (sun eater series), Red Rising series, anything by Michael Crichton. Some of those trend more towards a mix of fantasy/sci-fi
I started the Expanse TV show. Would you recommend going through the books first? Don't have anything to read at the moment after I just finished the latest Stormlight novel.

Stormlight archive is so good! I watched the first two expanse seasons before starting the books, and I don't think it messed up the experience. The show did an amazing job. Some things happen more quickly, and a few characters get combined, but I think you're good in either order. Some small details from the show make more sense after reading the books, and of course the show doesn't make it to the end of the story

I just finished book 2 of this series; the premise is very interesting but the prose could use some polish (maybe just a poor translation?). I personally found it a little difficult to keep track of the characters since almost everyone has a Chinese name like Ye Wenjie and Wu Yue. I stopped reading for fun about 20 years ago, these books were my first to resurrect the hobby.

I saw the TV show... it's OK.
Did you watch the original TV show or the Netflix adaptation? The Netflix one seems so rush, the original ones seems to drag at some parts, but seems to be more enjoyable.

This is one of those series that some people just love and others not so much. I happen to be the second. I never really understood the the love of it.
