Firefly: Big Damn Hero by James Lovegrove, Nancy Holder
4.0
Had a blast for a good chunk of the book! I have to say the ending feels incredibly rushed, very much first draft material especially compared to the rest. The villain motivations were so dumb and not set up in a satisfying way at all, and the flashbacks were grueling to get through sometimes.
That being said, the characters are spot on, which is the highest compliment I think you can pay a book like this. There’s all the witty dialogue here you’d expect from the show and even a scene with Wash and Zoey that gave me a good laugh while I listened in my car.
And excellent narration by the voice actor, though I can’t remember his name. His Mal sounds just like the guy, and I think he did a good job with everyone else too, though the villains voice sounds a lot like Mal’s which makes the final showdown a bit hard to follow. Doesn’t help that the plot at the end is not good to begin with and the whole book sadly ends with a bit of a whimper where it started out great.
That being said, I’m exited for the other books in the series!
