3.5 stars. This one was a lot of fun to be a part of! The premise was clever and I really appreciated the unpredictability of everything. There were a few scenes that seemed a little draggy and others where the pacing felt a little too quick, leaving something of an off-balance sensation at times. But overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the read.

The clever LGBT sci-fi novel about a prison ship traveling the Galaxy, collecting prisoners and using them to keep itself running. A small group of thieves and con women are captured and make their way out, the first people in more than 300 years to do so.
This book is like a popcorn movie. It's a fast read, reasonably entertaining... worth the price of admission. The backstory is a bit thin, the characters are fairly loosely drawn (very few of them are even given physical descriptions), and the story has some "convenient" occurrences... but at the end of the day I read it quickly and mostly enjoyed it!
So far, so good on everything I have read of Skrutskie's. I liked the premise of this and the characters were all really interesting and fun to follow.
I would say that there could have been a bit more fleshing out toward the end whenMurdock goes with the faithful and becomes one of them, because it didn't really feel 'believable' that she had committed herself to that and when we only see a vague hand-wave of initiation week of it and one small return mission before the run-in with her past crew, there's no real stakes to dig into.
And it honestly made no sense for the Justice to allow her access to anything that quickly anyway, so I would say a bit more time in that plot point would make it more believable.
