If I had to rate the novels in the Expanse series, I'd have to say this is probably the weakest one so far (which means it comes down to being only “really enjoyable” rather than “fantastic”).

The story deals well with the fallout of the last novel, and moves to establish a new status quo for the crew of the Rocinante and for the solar system. The post 9/11 metaphors felt a little heavy handed at times, but the character interactions remained enjoyable enough that the book was still a fun story on the whole.
