I really appreciated the different writing styles and perspectives we got with all the short stories/novellas in here. I like that they added to the overall canon of the books while still being their own, unique tales. I do appreciate who we end the whole saga with, and the authors' notes on that very subject were some of the most interesting writing of the entire saga. Ok, the real end of the Expanse technically.

The overall theme remains: humans getting in the way of themselves, and the tension of what we could do together or be together if we got past that. But by letting us sit with side characters, changing the rules around perspective, and telling stories from across the overall timeline of the story, it both 'expands' and refracts the overall narrative of the world.
The novels roll along with chapter breaks fairly regularly, so it was notable that the short stories are longer than multiple chapters from the novels. This gave the stories and overall collection a slower pace, as we lingered longer with these perspectives than we're used to from these authors.
This slower pace is not a criticism. After reading through the series, it was particularly effective to linger and focus on characters and places. And because you often already know an element of how these stories will turn out, (since most of them are reflecting situations from within the established timeline of the books) there is a sense of temporal pressure on the characters that the reader knows but the character doesn't.
