Maybe they’re in for more adventures in the future but for now it was genuinely dissatisfying.
I know cats are lazy but that’s such a waste.
But, and this is a bit of a spoiler, the cat leader goes from nearly taking over the bridge of the ship in the opening scene to essentially being a lap cat for the rest of the book. I’m not even going into the bizarre romance/sex thing because I just don’t get what was supposed to be appealing about it at all.Įven with tall that, my main issue is this: if you’re going to put AWESOME psychic cats in a book, why wouldn’t you actually USE them? Now I’m a bit of a cat person and psychic cats were one of the main reasons I decided to give this a go.
More than once I had to wonder why something was there at all, especially when it was flat out weird. There are a few good moments, but they’re tenuously linked and overall it felt like individual scenes were more important than the plot. It might do for you, lady, but all the people who died might have preferred you weren’t such a dick. Captain Eva Innocente has a strong voice but the wrong kind- she’s an attitudey failure that seems to think that accepting her own mistakes makes everything ok. It’s a difficult one to love, with shallow characterisations and a plot that’s all surface. The book is a mix of Becky Chambers style small stories and gung-ho space opera. But when the dominoes start to fall and she finds the real threat is greater than she imagined, she must decide whether to play it cool or burn it all down. To free her sister, Eva will risk everything: her crew, her ship, and the life she’s built on the ashes of her past misdeeds.
The worse things get, the more she lies, raising suspicions and testing her loyalty to her found family. The ship’s hold is full of psychic cats, an amorous fish-faced emperor wants her dead after she rejects his advances, and her sweet engineer is giving her a pesky case of feelings. When her sister Mari is kidnapped by The Fridge, a shadowy syndicate that holds people hostage in cryostasis, Eva must undergo a series of unpleasant, dangerous missions to pay the ransom.īut Eva may lose her mind before she can raise the money. A hilarious, offbeat debut space opera that skewers everything from pop culture to video games and features an irresistible foul-mouthed captain and her motley crew, strange life forms, exciting twists, and a galaxy full of fun and adventure.Ĭaptain Eva Innocente and the crew of La Sirena Negra cruise the galaxy delivering small cargo for even smaller profits.
