This reviewer is unobservant and didn’t notice this was the third in the Long Game Series and requested it on Netgalley and accepted to be part of the blog blast too.
Best practice always recommend to read the books in a series in order as you will be missing large chunks of the character background and the world building but this isn’t what I did.
I read this book and had a lot of fun as it’s an action packed, fast paced and pure fun story that made me turn pages as fast I could.
I loved the strong female characters, Orry and Jane the sentient ship above all, but I think that all the characters are well rounded and interesting.
The plot is tightly knitted and I loved the storytelling and how to author always kept my attention alive. I think this is a sort of space opera thriller and I wanted to know who did it and why, the twists and turns of the plot kept me guessing and I rooted for the characters as they have to face very dangerous places and enemies. There’s plenty of humor and I loved it as it added to my entertainment.
Even if I missed the details of the world building I found it interesting and want to know more about the The Departed, the Ruuz and the power relationship in this universe.
I bought the previous two installments, Shattermoon and Morhelion, and I’m ready to read this series from the beginning and I’m sure I will enjoyed them as much as I thoroughly enjoyed this one.
It’s strongly recommended.
Many thanks to Jo Fletcher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
