Well this was a fully packed short novella! I thought the world building was very well done, interesting and unique enough to stand out. Earth is a slowly dying planet but humans have colonized other Earths, where life can thrive. Ada Lamarr is running out of air while scavenging a crash site, but a well timed rescue in the form of a government ship picks her up. Rian White and his crew are on a classified mission, doing the basic background search on Ada doesn’t yield any red flags and they let her board, unaware she has a mission of her own.
I love me a space heist and Ada was a great character to follow. It was mysterious and fun. Her connection to Rian and their growing chemistry is hinted at throughout. Ada temporarily joins the Halifax crew and it added a fun camaraderie to the plot. The gag about Ada’s love of Earth food was cute. I’m definitely looking forward to the second book!
The audiobook narration performed by Dara Rosenberg and David Bendena was very pleasant and I loved the personality Dara created with Ada’s character. It had a charming and adventurous atmosphere.
Thank you to Dreamscape Lore for the listening copy to review.
