For fans of "The Expanse" book series, one of the most surprising things to notice upon starting the show is the different structure. Whereas "Game of Thrones" was fairly straightforward at first, the debut season of "The Expanse" combined a lot of books 1 and 2, while saving parts of book 1 for season 2.
That might sound confusing, but it makes sense. The first book in the series, "Leviathan Wakes," is surprisingly small-scale; it centers around only two major point-of-view characters, an outlier from the rest of the series. The second book is when the number of Pov characters jumps up to four, which is much more representative of the series' general format. The books also have a tendency to drop its non-Holden point-of-view characters after each book, even if they're still alive, another storytelling approach that's a little more awkward in a TV show than it'd be in a book series.
