A Bad Deal for the Whole Galaxy by Alex White

5.0

This one was a 4.5 for me!
A big thank you to Paola from Orbit for sending me a copy to read and review!
*All opinions are my own.*

I really enjoyed this continuation, almost as much as I enjoyed A Big Ship!
We get to see a bit more from all of our favorite characters, and we get to watch their friendships and relationships grow, even through the harder stuff.
Alex White knows how to write a story that will keep you on the edge of your seat! They write incredibly entertaining stories that I could easily see as movies to binge watch!

If anything, this one felt more action packed than the first one, if that’s possible.

We start out right where book one ended, and if you haven’t read book one, go read 1&2 and then come back and read this review!

It flowed seamlessly from the beginning, where the crew is aiming to take out a new “big bad” Vraba, and they go to persuade Boots to help them on one final job to take him down.

The reason I gave this one a 4.5 instead of a 5 is that sometimes the action felt like a bit much. I loved seeing how everyone’s friendships grew, and the character development as well, but I also really really enjoy slower parts and found that this book had a few less of these than the first one.

Overall I really enjoyed this book and definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a fast paced book set in space that has some wonderful LGBT+ rep as well as a female-female relationship. Be forewarned that there is some language and a lot of gore.
