I have been going through the series after watching the show. I think it's fantastic overall, and it really adds tons of depth that the show simply can't. The show is a great adaptation of the novels though.
With that said, my big issue with the books is that each book focuses on all new POV characters (it's written very ASOIAF style, and I believe one of the authors was an understudy to Martin). Holden is the one consistent character. This is a bit frustrating, because it takes a few chapters to get to know and like the characters and then you are to see them no more. You have to do it all over again next book.
My solution is I read the book after each season so that I have a familiarity and some semblance of connection with the new characters. I have not watched the new season yet, so my Cibola Burn (book 4... book one was the first 2 seasons of the show) read is on hold for now.

That’s not really accurate. The entire crew of the Rocinante is present and critical in every book.
Can’t wait for book 9
