He's very good. He sounds like he's having so much fun reading the dialog of Avasarala, a character who sadly doesn't show up until the second book.

I got the books after watching season two I think, and I ran through them all quite fast. Mind you, I read 5 hem in English, which isn't my native language, but still nothing stopped me running through them all. Gotta love f*cking Avasarala though, that woman has no brain/mouth filter.
Anyone got a Sci-fi or Fantasy recommendation for me? Looking for something new to read. Can be a classic, as (re-) reading in English might be reason enough for me

"A Blade So Black" - A modern "Alice in Wonderland" about a young black woman fighting and slaying Nightmares trying to breach their way into the human world from Wonderland, the manifestation of the dream of the human collective unconscious.

That sounds a little bit like the comic book Return to Wonderland, which is kind of a Wonderland-meets-Lovecraft horror series.

This is decidedly non-Lovecraftian. More, return of the once defeated dark sorceress than unfathomable eldritch monsters from beyond time and space.

I just finished Ignition! by John D. Clark. More about rocket fuels than you'd ever want to know, and howlingly funny in spots. I was pushed a little bit to remember my high school and freshman college chemistry, but those weren't really necessary. The funny bits were the examination of chem-geek culture and the anecdotes of ... er ... um ... experiments, yeah, experiments gone wrong. I'm not sure how you'd turn it into a movie, but it would sure have enough explosions...
