I didn’t plow through this quite as much as I did the first book. It felt like this was really the aftermath of the first, and seemed a bit stagnant.

Like almost nothing happens in this book and the synopsis is so misleading. The "devil's gun" isn't mentioned until 2/3 of the way through the book and doesn't actually show up until the last page.

We continue to follow the adventures of the You Sexy Thing. My heart aches for Thorn as he tries to deal with his grief over the death of his brother. (Not a spoiler as it happens in book 1) Atlanta is trying to figure out where her place is in the world. Niko is determined to protect Petalia.

This book was enjoyable, but it felt very much like a middle book meant to take us from point a to point b.

I will read the next in the series.

ARC from netgalley.

This is the sequel to You Sexy Thing, and I enjoyed following the continued adventures of Niko and her crew as they grew and changed, facing challenges from outside while also nagivating their places in the world and their crew, and recovering from their previous adventure while also gaining new scars from the current one.

This book is a stellar example of what I like to read for fun when I am working really hard in other aspects of my life. People are trying their best to be kind, loving, supportive; people also make mistakes and have to deal with them. The writing is solid and the plot hangs together well enough. Also, it happens on spaceships and most of the people are not human beings. Really fun.

This was good but good lord was it slow. This is not plot heavy. It is character heavy and is great at fleshing them out and the found family aspect. But not a lot actually happens. The big baddie Tubal doesn’t even make an appearance? But some new bad-ish guy shows up? Idk. It felt a little rushed at the end.
