4.5 stars. I don't know if I've ever enjoyed reading a sci-fi space opera as much as I enjoyed reading Fortune's Pawn. It's what Ive been looking for in a grown up sci-fi for a long time, and what I was hoping for when I picked up Ann Aguirre's Grimspace. That one didn't quite live up to my expectat...

Fortune's Pawn: three parts kick ass and one part swoon.The prospect of a new series to love has got me all excited because what's there to love? The very kickass/ballsy Devi? The mysterious dude figure who's unknown factors had me thinking Barrons? (Yes! I have indeed invoked the name of Barrons!) ...

A very great read. Well-thought out world building - far enough away from reality to be interesting and close enough to not need constant descriptions and explanations. The characters are fantastic - well developed, interesting, realistic and fun to read. Slighly creepy regarding the Captain's "...

Space opera romance and not in a good way. Man, after The Best of all Possible Worlds, I so wanted to see the strong woman version of scifi romance, and wow is it disappointing. The first half is pretty interesting, but then it falls into a plot that is just your average paranormal romance with a fe...

I actually finished this a couple of days ago but I had to give myself time to mull it over. My initial reaction was, "Holy Moly, that was amazing! That ending? How could [a:Rachel Aaron|3504189|Rachel Aaron|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1323576507p2/3504189.jpg] do this to me?!" I w...
