I wouldn't say that the Expanse books are "significantly better" than the show - they're both fantastic, and both have bits where they're better than the others (for example, the books have more characters and storylines, plus the arc of the last three books, while the show is amazingly well adapted and in many ways is a second revision of the overall story).

I'm still holding out hope for seasons 7-9 happening at some point in ~5 years. Assuming it's adapted at the same level as the prior seasons, seeing the final trilogy on screen will be epic!

I just picked up reading again recently, so I have compiled a huge list of books to read. I watched the expanse, so probably want to get through my list before I think about reading the book series. Maybe the others seasons will be renewed by then.
