Start your review of Ace of Corpses (Freelance Courier, #1)

Gel is just starting her courier service and she's already in trouble.
She was just trying to get together some funds at the casino and the Plenum took exception to that.
So, she's on probation with them.
Meanwhile, she has her first job to accomplish. A king's body has disappeared and must be brought back, asap.
How did she get this job? She was highly recommended for it by a being that the Plenum would collectively clutch it's pearls and faint if they knew she had even talked to.

The Start of a Fun Series
This is a review based on the book I purchased, not the rough draft I received as an unpaid beta reader. The story is just adorable. The main character, Gel, is a clever, talented, witty , and unique young female who manages to solve a life-threatening conundrum for both her client and herself. I look forward to her psychic and creative development in the books to come. I totally enjoyed this one.

Really good book and fun universe
I have seen many books set in this universe, and if they are all as fun to read as this one, I will have to get all of them. The main character was interesting and got into all sorts of fun situations, and the story set this up to look like it could be a really fun series as well. I recommend this book.

Great, quirky sci fi
The world building is awesome, the aliens are believable and fantastic, and I loved seeing Gel again. Best of all is the lack of major violence and death, because there is too much of that in a lot of current sci fi books, as well as in real life. Ace is a wonderful escape. I'm looking forward to reading book 2. ...more

I'm still forming my thoughts on this book (and the series as it progresses), and the worldbuilding therein, but what I am sure of in this moment is that I enjoyed it enough to keep going. I was looking for a planet-hopping adventure story of a sort that I actually find hard to get my hands on anymore and this delivered.
