A review by roxanamalinachirila
The Machines of Bellatrix by Cary Caffrey
3.0
"The Machines of Bellatrix" is an action-packed story about technologically-enhanced young women fighting across the galaxy to protect their new home and themselves from the evil grasp of galactic corporations.
It's also the sequel to "The Girls from Alcyone", which I enjoyed at the time, even if it took me a couple of years to get around to the next in the series.
It's fun, it's action-packed, and if what you're looking for is an absolutely ridiculous amount of guns and high-tech fighting done by seemingly frail young women who just happen to be dating each other, this will definitely be perfect for you. On a closer look, though, the world created is pretty simple and the characters have little time for development. But that leaves it as a fun, light, action-y plot about kicking ass in space and getting oneself in trouble, which, to my mind, is not bad at all. (Except for the cliffhanger at the end, which was kind of a bummer.)
