4.5 Fragging Stars

MacHalo Girls (Some really cool chicks to read a book with) + Sirithura Jax (Anti-Heroinesk which is not the same thing as a bitch) + Oh Captain My Captain March (Theta Wave orgasm inducing OMG I want to try that semi asshole hero Um yes please, I think I love you) + Space Jumping (somewhat confusing but just go with it) + Off world clans and mad scientists

Let’s just say that Sirantha Jax is my kind of heroine. She doesn’t really whine or complain, she has compartments to shove all that useless crap in to deal with later. And she isn’t ready to save the world. Nope she is far more practical and self-serving than that. She talks shit, but she backs it up as well and what you see with her is what you get. Plus she isn’t some 20 year old twit, she is actually a woman in her thirties it was bound to be love at first snark. She was SO MUCH FUN.

Just a few examples of why I enjoyed Jax:

I fall in behind March, not because I acknowledge his authority in any fashion but because if by some chance we were wrong, and there’s something big and ugly left in these wetlands, I really prefer it eats him first. Give me a chance to run.

From the first moment he entered my cell and caught me on the verge of tears, he’s seen more of that than probably any other living soul. It occurs to me that, for the sake of symmetry, I should probably kill him.

“You’re a hex, lady, dark luck, powerful bad juju, ken?��
“Only to people who try to kidnap me,�� I tell him sweetly, and March snorts, so I feel obliged to add, “Or rescue me…�� And then Dina makes a pfft sound. “Or who travel with me…�� My gaze sweeps around the darkened interior, trying to find an ally, but nobody will hold my eyes more than two seconds, it seems. “Fine, frag you all, I’m dark juju, bad luck, and you’re all doomed.��

Sirantha Jax lost everything when her ship crashed and she was the only one to walk away. Sure that she will be found responsible and executed everything look bleak. That is when March walked through her cell door and rescued her. Jax is a hot commodity and worth a lot to the right people as she is one of the oldest Jumpers around. She also seems to bring on trouble and disaster every time she turns around and a series of unfortunate events big on either hilarity or calamity.

This was just a fun ride full of action/adventure/space/romance (just enough but not too much)/science fiction and quirky crazy characters. I loved the shop full of misfits that reminded me slightly of the t.v. series Firefly. March definitely gave me a Malcolm Reynolds vibe and I totally loved it.

I have to wonder what March said that garnered safe temporary passage. Knowing March, it may have been something like: Don’t you want to see my face when you kill me?

I was so happy with the relationship/romance build between March and Jax that I’m completely fine with the explanations of why they were able to become pretty in sync with each other quickly.

I also LOVE that there are other strong and snarky women in this story. Dina was so much fun, I loved her hard humor and how she is completely comfortable with who she is. The friendship that developed between her and Jax was so much fun and not your typical girlfriends type relationship, but it totally fit who the two characters were.

I’d recommend this for anyone who enjoyed Firefly, The Kate Daniels Series or just wants a fun story set in space.

This is just because I like to look and Nathan Fillion as Captain Malcolm Reynolds��.Don’t judge me.
