It's sort of like if remake Starbuck met up with the crew of Serenity and they went on a trip to a galaxy far, far away. So that maybe gave it an extra half or whole star. The first two-thirds was awesome but then the pacing and plotting kinda fell apart a little. Great sexual tension but then (view spoiler)[ insta-ovathatop-love. When there's going to be six books in a series, there's a whole lot of range for building a complex and meaningful relationship, without "you've been in my head, you get me, I now love you forever and ever". (hide spoiler)] Similarly, the plot's conflict wraps up all of a sudden in an awkward manner that should have been explored over several instalments. (view spoiler)[ It's like if Serenitythe movie was the third episode of the tv show, or Captain Adama figured out who all the cylons were in episode 1. Beating the bad guys who run the galaxy is the whole point so it just happening all of a sudden in a really easy manner is very anticlimactic. Like, really, no one else had ever thought to make a video about something they did wrong? That can really topple an all-powerful corporation? (hide spoiler)]. Damn now I'm talking myself out of 4 stars! It was an enjoyable read though, and I love a female character who drinks, swears, sleeps around and punches dudes in the face.
