4.0

The way I have been obsessed with this series. Ugh. I found myself mildly obsessed with Ada and Rian over the course of book 1 and 2, thus I drew out reading these 176 pages at a snail's pace because I wanted to spend as much time with those two idiots as possible. But man, oh man, do I have feelings.

The story was just as good. The banter was still top notch. The Ada as a mash-up of Commander Shepherd from Mass Effect and purple Hawke from Dragon Age 2 was still a thing and I still loved it. Rian's Garrus Vakarian but much more lawful good was still a thing. But I have to deduct a star for one reason and one reason only and it's a spoiler so I have to place it behind tags:
I needed those two idiots to have their big moment. Fireworks. A culmination of three books worth of back and forth flirting and innuendo. But we didn't exactly get that.


In my little heart, I'm hoping Beth has another book planned because I'd gleefully spend a much longer amount of time reading Ada and Rian's story and listening to them banter. 

The Chaotic Orbits series is perfect for Sci-Fi fans who love Mass Effect, banter, and enemies to lovers, or those who enjoy a quick story with themes of environmental protection and rebellion, and also happen to enjoy characters who are lovable idiots.
