SYNOPSIS

While doing a job, scavenging a destroyed ship for valuable parts, this band of misfits stumbles upon a working AICat that managed to survive. They take the cat with them, turn in the parts, hoping to get credits towards their debt, but receive way less than they were expecting.

On top that, they soon learn that there are people aware of the cat’s existence and will do anything to get the cat back.

What could happen?

RECAP AND REVIEW

Thank you to NetGalley and the author for a copy in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are mine.

Out now!

This is a sci-fi book told in the third person. The book is about Tovi, Sierra, Cecil, and Iz on their adventure together. They come from different backgrounds and circumstances, but after they’ve found each other they became a family. (I might’ve missed how they all came together).

We mainly get backstory and perspective from and about Tovi and Sierra, who are like brother and sister and have known each other for a long time, though they were forced to spend a period of time apart.

Tovi has a naive outlook on the world and can be too trusting. Sierra can be reckless and impulsive.

I liked:

✨ The world building overall – politics and use of futurism

✨ The relationship between Sierra and Tovi

✨ The action

I liked less:

🥲 The pacing – some parts were faster paced, some felt slower

🥲 The placement of the flashbacks – events happening out of order confused me since we’re already learning so much information about the world and the character’s lives

There were a lot of moving parts, which means there at least felt like there were lot of characters and a few different subplots that influence the overall plot.

The only plot I was really interested in until the end was the main plot of trying to protect and keep the AIcat. I found their individual backstories interesting, but things resolved pretty easily once they were faced.

Read this for:

🚀 Found family

🚀 Queer Leads

🚀 Robot Fights

🚀 Space Pirates

🚀 Space Adventures

🚀 AI Animal Companions

OVERALL

Overall, I give this a 3.5 out of 5 stars. I believe this is going to be a series and I’d read the second book out of curiosity. I’d recommend to this to people who like Sci-fi and futuristic aspects and who like space adventures.
