She’s brilliant as Avasarala and even makes us think at times that maybe the book got Avasarala’s timeline all wrong. It helps that we have Shohreh Aghdashloo playing that part. In the books, Avasarala doesn’t come around until much later on, but her character is so central in the story that it needed to be on screen as soon as possible. One of the biggest changes to the book was the introduction of Earth’s U.N. This was an efficient adaptation as any, especially since the book’s prologue goes into a lot of detail that will just take too long to translate otherwise. We were then introduced into life in the 23rd century and what large-scale problems could exist there. When the show opened, we were seeing what was happening to Julie Mao as in the prologue, but this was more taken outside of Holden’s perspective. The book Leviathan Wakes opens up with James Holden’s perspective of the prologue.
