Are the books as good as the show? Is there any value add in reading the books, after I've watched and fell in love with the show?

Edit: thank you, everyone! The overwhelming positive feedback on the books has me convinced. They are on my reading queue!

Honestly I'd say the books are better. I really enjoyed the show, but the books are really great

I actually preferred the show version up to and especially book 3. But then the books have an actual ending and other great POV characters. I'd say they are equally great overall

The show made a fair few changes from the books, mostly for the better. Off the top of my head, Avasarala and Draper are introduced earlier in the show, Drummer got the consolidated stories of several other side characters and Elvi Okoye's and Ashford's personalities were significantly changed. IMO, Show Ashford is a much more interesting character than Book Ashford. In addition, the season 6 side plot with the kids is told much later in the books.

The books are spectacular, keep going after the show, and didn't have to write off any characters because of actor unavailability or sex scandals.

Though be prepared that Drummer isn't really a player in the books until after the events of the show. They kinda combined a lot of side characters from the book to create her role in the show.
