I'm so excited for both of the amazing girls that wrote this story! It's so freaking good so far and I desperately need part 2 like right now
I am such a sucker for a good science fiction book! After having read a lot of fantasy lately, I needed to pick up a good sci-fi book so I grabbed this one. One thing that really drew my attention to this book is the fact that the spaceship has an all female crew. How cool is that?

1.5 stars:
- Random pointless italicized words
- Repeating sentence structure for EMPHASIS but ultimately failed
- "Hope is a raging asshole"
- "wet feline"
- "she flashed him her teeth"
- Bloody Baroness = Whaboom schtick from the Bachelorette
Here's the link again if you missed it the first time.

I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. There are some problems but mostly I think it's getting unnecessary hatred
This book was gripping and I was intrigued right away. It's very short but I already feel connected to the characters. Knowing that Sasha (a you-tuber) was an author of this book made it even more awesome to read. It is Cinder meets Star Wars? Maybe even Illuminae but I have not yet read that. I loved this and cannot wait for the next installment! Great job ladies!
2.5/5 Okay, to start, this book took me FOREVER to get through, because I just couldn’t get into the world and couldn’t find myself caring even remotely for the characters. Normally, I enjoy when books are quick-paced when it comes to action in the plot, but I felt like with this book the action in the plot came before any introduction to the main characters. I enjoyed the flashback chapters and Andie’s backstory, but found a lot of contradictions in the beginning of the novel to the middle considering the relationship in the story.
To summarize my thoughts on this book: it was okay. Not bad, but far from my favourite book for sure

This was a fresh ya story that I didn't know I needed. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of Zenith, because it looks like a promising book. It's even better than some ya I've read this past year. Thumbs up, Sasha and Lindsey for doing an awesome job with this book
Info dumped beginning that really felt YA to an extreme. Maybe if I’d read this book when I first bought it 5 years ago I’d have enjoyed it, but I cannot back the writing style at all, very cliche lines like “Vengeance will be mine.”
3.5 stars! I think this idea had so much potential! I was getting a real guardians of the Galaxy vibe from Andi and her squad of outsiders and she seems like she could be a real great, strong female lead for the story...
There were a couple issues I did have that had me giving it a lower rating: (no spoilers)
1. The ebook was like 56 pages on my kobo (I have to-do lists longer than this) and it was a bit disappointing...I know this is going to be a serialized novel released in parts but it wasn't enough! I've never read something that's come out in parts like this (idk if Shadowhunter academy counts but even then I waited until all 10 novellas were out to binge read them)
2. Perhaps this one is caused by (or at least related to) #1 but I felt the world building/character back stories/explanations were lacking just because there wasn't enough pages! Because of this I felt like I was dropped into 50 pages from the middle of a larger book...don't get me wrong it was pretty action packed but a lot of times I was thinking Who is that? What planet is that? Is that a different species? Where are they going? How are these people related? ...tbh sometimes you just need a good info dump
3. I feel like I had a third point that I can't remember (this just shows that I need to write things down)...if I remember I will update my review
Overall I did enjoy this, I'm curious as to where it's heading and I would be interested in reading the rest...however I think I will wait until all of the parts are released so I can read them together otherwise I just feel like it's not worth it for such a little bit of story
Let me know if any of you have read this and what your thoughts are!!
