Devi is a mercenary whose life goal is to be a Devastator (an elite group that serves the king of Paradox). She signs up for a year of security work on The Glorious Foul because she'll get credit for 5 years and serve 1. However, all is now what it seems.
I liked the writing and I thought the world interesting. However, I would have liked more backstory on the different species and planets (why don't Paradoxians like the Terrans and vice versa for example). I liked Devi, but had trouble connectin ...more

I have just finished and I really loved it. Kick ass heroine and a great story. I really need to know what is next.
This is a scifi with a small amount of romance.
Maybe a 4.5 stars

I definitely lean more toward the fantasy part of the SFF genre, but I picked this one up on the recommendation of one of my favorite authors, and I am so glad I did. Written in the first-person narrative of the female protag, it is an intelligent, action-packed thrill ride. Laced with subtle but not overly sarcastic humor throughout, this first book in a trilogy (of course) is a great read. I honestly could not put it down.

I could not put this book down. Very strong, kick butt heroine. Mysterious, dangerous, and hot hero. Spaceships, battle armor, guns, aliens, and hot times.
I loved it.
I loved it.
