Changed my review from 3 stars to 2. I'm not even sure if I'll read the rest. The writing was too forced and there were too many random people and places thrown in with no descriptions. I'm actually really disappointed for a supposed "New York Times bestseller". It was written like a fanfic would be and I felt like the summary of the book made it seem better than it was. We're told about a badass space pirate but nothing about that main character screamed badass to me. Plus this whole idea of releasing it in parts seems silly. When I pick out a book to read I want to be able to read the whole thing without forgetting what's happening in between. Would not recommend this one to anyone unfortunately.
Quick thoughts:
1. I guess this is only part one not book one. Kind of annoyed by that. There was enough here to properly rate it.
2. This felt like a mashup of The Lunar Chronicles, Six of Crows, and Illuminae which I'm not sure I like. I was hoping for something more original. Even the main character felt a lot like Celeana from Throne of Glass except that there was no proof she was actually badass, just a lot of talk.
3. The mission and the idea of an all female pirate crew seems cool but the authors kept using the names of people and places like we knew who they were but we had no clue. That drove me crazy.
4. I guess we'll see how the rest of this book goes since I can't read the whole thing. I'm not in any hurry to finish it though.
