CHRISJEN AVASARALA | the once and future queen

Let's talk about Chrisjen Avasarala's outfits in The Expanse

The first time we ever meet Deputy Undersecretary of the United Nations, Chrisjen Avasarala, she's chilling out in her fancy, cozy house, checking out her outfit and hair in the mirror, and playing with her grandson. She's rocking a lovely gold sari, huge earrings, and big ol' bangles.

Minutes later, she's still wearing that gorgeous shimmering outfit...as she's at a UN Black Site, interrogating a Belter terrorist who is being tortured using gravity.

(The whole scene is a masterclass in character introduction of a feminine, refined, powerful, badass. 10/10 writing).

But I want to talk Avasarala's outfit right here.

Saris are up to 9 feet in length and are often elegantly draped. You NEED gravity and resources to make the fabric work. Especially shimmering silky fabrics like that.

Doubly so for jewelry. Earrings cannot be worn like that under space helmets (I say from experience being an earring lover and motorcycle enthusiast) lest they damage the wearer or break. Bracelets would be impractical in space too, especially the bigger ones that clank and announce someone's presence, like Avasarala.

Point in, Avasarala marching in full regalia like that to a Belter is full flaunting of not only her heritage, but Earth's power and role. She is wearing a beautiful, rich, cultured outfit no Belter could ever wear in their lifetime and she knows it.

"If life transcends death,

then I will seek for you there.

If not, then there too."

Did not expect to get something like this from an expanse book. How beautiful that quote is. And it's a freaking haiku. Love it.

"Sometimes, I fucking hate being right."

Avasarala from The Expanse, the space TV show you should be watching right now 🪐

That time Chrisjen said, “The man is the head but the woman is the neck, and she can turn the head any way she wants.”

This series always makes me crave all the food and coffee. In fact, I was going to make the bookpic chicken kebabs but unfortunately, I currently do not have any kebabs in my kitchen and so the leftovers that I do have made the cut instead.

I started this series after a friend, (@artbymeezy on insta) recommended it. We had planned to buddy read this book and I never thought it would happen. But it did, in fact, he was so captivated, he binged it and I fell behind (I was also very distracted by romance novels and non-fiction…thanks booksta). I did still manage to finish reading it in the same month as him so I’m still considering it a buddy read. I also messaged him while I read in our little 2 person book club, so once again still considering it a buddy read.

Amos and Avasarala were my favourites in this book. I feel like I read all the other chapters just to get to another Amos chapter. I’m also really glad I’ve read some of the novellas because the insight from those really added to this story (in subtle ways and you can enjoy the series without the novellas but I like details and background and information so I liked having the insider novella information). I don’t think I had any qualms with this book other than not liking Alex and Bobbie fraternizing and I don’t think Avasarala’s pistachios were mentioned in this book so that was a little disappointing.

I was going to take a brief break from the series again but my friend has already started reading Babylon’s Ashes so I guess I better keep going.
