I think the early books have some problems, but they generally do a good job of building worldbuilding and characterisation whilst being quite action-packed. I think Stephen Donaldson's The Gap feels more like a sci-fi ASOIAF, at least once you get past that first weird book. Aside from the POV character chapter structure, I'd say they have very little in common. I don't think you should expect a sci-fi ASOIAF out of it, though.
I'd recommend taking Leviathan Wakes a try, at least- take it out of the library and see what you think. I also hear that some of the later books are considered much better than the first two (though I've also heard the opposite, so YMMV). Overall the second book was fun, but didn't make me want to read any more- though I am still interested in following the TV show, which grabbed me better than the booksĪll that said, I know there are lots of people who love the series, including friends and people who's taste I really respect. I enjoyed the second slightly more, as the cast expanded and some non-POV characters got fleshed out a bit. The first book was especially a problem for me, because there were only two POV characters and I found one of them to be boring and insufferable. It's set in an interesting future, but I thought the worldbuilding was pretty shallow, the plot (once it's revealed) not particularly interesting, and most of the characters flat. I read the first two Expanse books and wasn't a big fan, which I found surprising, because I love Daniel Abraham.

I think there's already some threads about the Expanse (so this thread might get closed), but they may have spoilers up to the latest book, so maybe the mods will let this thread survive.
