Book Summary:
Cymbeline Khaw, aka Cyn, is a dangerous woman. There are rumors all over the galaxy about her – and Cyn is totally comfortable leaving others to speculate about the truth. It makes it easier for her to complete her missions.
Unfortunately, her latest mission is coming with a bit of a complication – it's bringing her face to face with a crew determined to break down her barriers. But it's worth that risk because Cyn will do just about anything to track down this bounty – it's personal for her.
My Review:
I'm not going to lie; when I heard that there was going to be a second novel (and hopefully more) in this series, I did NOT expect Cyn to be the primary perspective. Not that I'm complaining; it's nice to be kept on one's toes.
Fiasco is the second in the series, and the primary crew is largely the same as the first novel. That said, there are a few significant differences. For starters, Cyn isn't part of the crew (much as they would have liked to change that in the last book). So we get to see the whole found family element from an outsider getting pulled in.
Cyn's story is...a lot. I mean that in the best of ways. She has a complex backstory full of secrets and pain. Makes it easier to root for her, even when she's being an idiot. I have a lot more I could say on this subject (and I may have deleted a sentence or two), but I don't want to dive too far into spoiler territory.
I loved the blend of action, drama, and romance in Fiasco. And I'm happy to report that the Calamity crew is still going strong – there is clearly more to this story, and I am here for it.
Highlights:
Science Fiction
Romance
Misfit Crew/Found Family
Revenge in Space
