This was one wild ride! The first book in this series, Fortune's Pawn kicks things off with a bang. This book just furthers the action. There are crazy jumps and getaways, near misses, loads of fighting, and lots of action from The Lady Gray. The plot thickens, the characters actually get a bit deeper (not much, but we'll take what we can get!) 
 All right, that paragraph is a mess. 
 Why this series is amazing: 
 1. Deviana Morris. You know all those TSTL heroines? She is not one of them! Sure she makes mistakes, sure she may be a little trigger-happy, but Deviana has a brain, she has common sense, and she chooses to use it. She's strong, she's toned, she's ready for anything life throws her way. She's tough as nails; if life gives her lemons, she's not making lemonade, she's going to shoot those lemons to a pulp and demand for something better. Needless to say, I adored her. She's a fantastic character and it was a pleasure to jump back into her narration and mind again for this book. I don't always agree with Devi (like I said, she makes mistakes,) but she's delightfully real in a very flawed way. 
 2. Oh my goodness, the plot! Things have intensified! Things have mystified... What is going on? No clue, but I want to find out! And I want you to do find out as well! Read the books, peeps. They're exciting as anything and completely crazy. Oh, the action! 
 3. The world is freaking fantastic and really well fleshed out. All those books you're reading right now with a half-baked world that makes no sense? Ditch 'em for space and aliens and a wonderfully described world of the galaxies! (I sound like an advertisement. Oh, brother, sorry guys, I just really liked this book.) 
 All of that being said, there were things that disappointed me as well. Mainly, it's been pretty consistent that while Devi is a sweet, fleshed out character, the other characters don't have a whole lot of personality or depth. This is still mostly true. Caldswell got a leeetle bit deeper, as did Brenton, but I'd love to see more interaction between the crew members and learn more about Nova, Basil, Hyrek, and Mabel. That's the only thing that disappointed me though, so... 
 4.5 stars!
