This to me is perfect scifi. There's enough acknowledgement to reality and physics and tech, and loads of evidence that the writer(s) is(are) a geek (are geeks) that I don't feel put upon with unlikely scenarios. On the other hand it's also not a physics textbook. I like physics textbooks, especially ones with stories, but that's a different choice of reading. When I want fiction, this is what I want. Adventure, differentiated and believable characters tight writing, and mystery that pulls you through.

If I had any criticism, it would be that I wanted more relation on the the evil schemes of Protogen. Also I want to know why all the ships constantly have to accelerate and pull Gs. Do they never each cruising speed ever? Ok ok. The chase scenes would not be very tense if they were “Reached cruising speed Captain” “Ah good,” said Holden, “I shall enjoy this soothing mint tea while we await the resolution of this chase.” so it doesn't bother me much.
