This is a sci-fi novella about a group of bounty hunters that have hearts of gold. It reminds me of the show Firefly (not a copy, but it gives me that vibe).

It's a pretty good story and I'm excited to read the trilogy. ( )

A short novella introducing Captain Octavia Zarola, a bounty hunter and former soldier and the crew of her spaceship, Starlight's Shadow while they are on a job to track down a fugitive.

This was an enjoyable read. The author strikes a good balance between worldbuilding, explanations, character development and plot. There's a lot of action sprinkled with just enough descriptions for me to not to feel too lost. But not so much I don't feel like I wouldn't be interested in reading the rest of the series.

I liked the main character Tavi and her crew, Eli - the first officer, Kee - the systems engineer and their mascot, Luna - a burbu (which is basically a cat/ferret/fox mix) that can communicate telepathically. I would have liked for Tavi to be a bit more bloodthirsty (she's pretty pacifist) but it wasn't a deal breaker.

I'm curious to see where the story goes. 4 stars. ( )

This is a good intro to the first book. You meet the crew and see their personalities as they are trying to bring in a large bounty. Not too much to say about it since it is only a novelette. ( )
