Trust me, this is not a dig at her talent or anything. I LOVE her, but I'm worried that for the show's "story line", Naomi's chances of winning are fucked.
I don't like comparing queens, but her and Violet have some similarities (albeit very general similarities) so I'm worried that she won't have a chance because of how the show tends to work. Violet was the exact opposite of Bianca, so what are the chances that another "skinny, young fashion girl that corsets" will win?
I really want Naomi to go far, but what do you guys think?

I finished Leviathan Falls yesterday and my head is still dizzy thinking about the insane ending. The savage choice Holden made to shut down the ring gates, and everyone having to choose their 'forever home' in a new ring gate was a really intense choice that resonated with me. Alex and the Roci heading off while the last of the Roci crew headed onto the Falcon to enter Sol; a system that has been irrelevant for the last two books (showing how far the scope and scale of the series has increased).
It was an incredibly scary and depressing scenario that reminded me of some of the crazy stuff in End of Evangelion.
I think the reason why the ending was so intense for me is because it shows how much the scale of the series has grown. The Expanse series is three duologies and a trilogy. An Earth vs Mars duology, ring-gate duology and Sol War duology. The final Laconian trilogy shows how insignificant and small these earlier conflicts were in hindsight. Its crazy to think that once Marco and his belters were the biggest problem in the universe, then 30 years later 18 million people are being killed at the whims of dark gods and humanity is being turned into a hivemind.
Sorry if this post seems like rambling but I'm trying to process all the insanity in the series lol.
Our character's final interactions were also painfully human and realistic. Jim and Naomi had a few 'goodbyes' and not one of them was a huge melodramatic outcry of their love. Holden probably could have said some last words to Naomi before she left the ringspace but he didn't; he was already finished and, tragically, there was nothing left to say. Another beautifully painful moment was Naomi shutting down the terminal with the Underground's information on. In the blink of an eye, all the conflict and terror of the ringspace and Laconians were snuffed out and is utterly irrelevant as the 1300 systems are separated again.
There's also a sense of existential horror to all the systems being seperated. In book 8, the most terrifying moment is when Fayez says "rings' moved" and they realised that two systems are gone from the ringspace. What happened to those systems? Do they have enough people and resources to sustain themselves? Now that problem is expanded to 1300 systems. As Naomi puts it, humanity messed up and now has 1300 chances to try again.
This entire series was a ride from start to finish. I'm nostalgic fo
