Oh, how I’m loving this series. I picked up this book and didn’t stop until I reached the end. This is a funny but moving read. You can’t help but be sweep along Ada actions and you’re right there with Rian questioning Ada’s motive and scheme. Ada is a girl that goes after what she wants and find a way to get paid for it. But you also see how she has her moral code and just really can’t help herself.

This book continues the trend of social commentary and state of the world while still painting brilliant images of what other solar systems and planets look like and a very dark picture of what might be our own world in the future.

I can’t wait to pick up the 3rd book once it becomes available. And I’m looking forward to get this series into my book collection.

Thank you DAW for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

As always, Revis knocks it all the way out of the park. A rollercoaster of awesome from start to finish with plenty of laugh out loud moments. I’m dying to get my hands on the next installment!!

Beth Revis has done it again! Disclosure - I did receive this book from NetGalley for my honest review.

I absolutely loved this book, and even more than the first one, and cannot wait for the third and final one. This book has all the things I love, a high-stakes space heist, a beautiful gala at a museum, witty banter, and of course the romance. While it is a novella, I did still read it in one day, I just couldn’t put it down. This series is a must-read in my opinion!

This is a must-read for fans of Firefly and Leverage! Heists and hijinx, a badass heroine who doesn't let you know her next move, and some swoon-worthy romantic moments! And just like Full Speed to a Crash Landing, you will be left wanting more! I can’t wait until book 3!

Just like the first in the series, I really enjoyed this super fun novella. Ada is an interesting character, and I loved her side quest to destroy the stand-in for a certain well-known billionaire. The romance is low heat, but I didn’t need more. I wish the story would have been longer!

I am loving this series of heists! This was a great follow up to the first book. I love the relationship between Ada and Rian and can’t wait to see them in the next book. My favorite part is that we are still kept guessing what Ada is up to during the book. We are starting to learn more and more and I’m super excited to see what comes next!

I breezed through the first installment and did the same with How to Steal a Galaxy! Ada is a wit and just so likeable, and you can feel Rian going absolutely nuts trying to figure her out- I'd love to see more of his perspective! I didn't think this story line was as complete as Full Speed to a Crash Landing, which felt self-contained. HtSaG felt more like a placeholder ahead of the next book, which isn't necessarily a bad thing- I just wanted more. I agreed with Ada in Chapter 6 as well: "less philosophical bs"! There was a lot of ruminating for a short novella, and I wanted more action or dialogue or something in place of it. I think Ada's voice is strong enough to feel her emotions and motivations without those ruminations, and they just slowed it down for me. Overall, though, I enjoyed myself and will be impatiently waiting for the next! The cover is also absolutely beautiful just like the first!

This novella picks up almost right after "Full Speed to a Crash Landing" and takes places during one night. And what a night it is! Ada is again a wonderfully mysterious character, even though we get her point of view we don't know what she's up to either. I love her charm, how competent and how wonderfully clever she is. Her chemistry with Rian is amazing and I can't wait to see what they get up to in the final novella. This is a captivating read that I breezed through, highly enjoyable!

How to Steal a Galaxy brings Rian back into Ada’s orbit. When a high stakes charity gala meant to bring life saving technology back to Earth is threatened by the very person in charge.

I’m really enjoying the creativity in this novella series. It’s silly, fun, and mysterious. Ada is a mastermind, I have no idea what she’s planning half the time! There wasn’t too much romance or tension in this one but I really liked the banter. I’m hooked with the setup for the third book, really looking forward to it!

Thank you DAW for the review copy.

I really liked how we follow Ada while wondering what she is really doing. However, this volume felt a bit less mysterious and punchy than the first, but I like the characters and can't wait to read the last one.

Space Heist! Space Heist! Space Heist!

Ada continues her space heisting for hire while accompanied [monitored] by Rian in the second novella from the Chaotic Orbits (aptly named as these two continue to orbit chaotically around the other). Beyond the palpable connection between these two, it also delves deeper into expanding the series' universe. A fitting sequel that will leave readers excited for the third.

Beth Revis can do no wrong. I think this whole series is going to be a good time and booktok go bonkers for this one.

Thank you for the arc. I loved it

I really enjoyed this book. The characters were well developed and lovable. The pacing was perfect and left you wanting to read more. I can't wait to read more by this author!

I enjoyed it and read it very quickly but I liked book 1 a lot more. The lack of space in this made it no longer feel like a sci fi book. Sure they talked about it but it didn’t feel the same. Excited to see where book 3 goes.

continuing straight after Full Speed to a Crash Landing this feels like a very similiar plot in the sense that Ada is pulling a heist off without Rian seeing her master plan until it's too late, but since we only just saw how she works in the first novel it was easy to see what she was up to and halfway through I wanted to shake Rian and yell "why can't you see what's going on here!"
Plot- reads like a classic heist since it's based on- planet. Not many sci-fi futuristic elements mentioned. Sort of felt like it was just moving the story along to the finale in this trilogy.
The object that Ada was there to steal did feel a little... predictable. She straight up tells Rian at one point what she was really there for, so the ending didn't surprise me.

Characters- I still enjoy Ada and Rian. Their dynamic is just fun, and we did get more of Ada's back story here which I enjoyed. I like how she's so jaded, she wants to help Sol-Earth but wants to get straight to point; no mucking around. Contradicts nicely with Rian's ' by the book' belief in the galactic government that wants to save Sol-Earth. Opposites do attract as they say.

Setting- I didn't mind the setting on this book. It's set mostly in one location- a museum in which there are priceless Earth artefacts being auctioned. The museum is on another Earth- like planet, mostly inhabited by the filthy rich. I like that Sol-Earth artefacts are on display, it ties it all back to history we all know and invokes sympathy for the plight of Sol-Earth. It's easy to see in the future that pollution would ruin everything for us.
Anyway I liked the setting- but compared to the first book which was mostly set on a ship in space it lacked excitement and any sort of danger you know?

Overall I enjoyed this book, it was nice and short so easily read in one sitting. A little predictable, but enjoyable. I am waiting eagerly for the third book to be released so I can continue Ada and Rian's story.

I gave this novella three stars because I liked it, but wanted so much more. There were some flirtations, but they led to nothing. Not even a closed door romance. I will continue to read them in the hopes that the romantic sparks eventually lead somewhere, but so much was unresolved: the story and the romance.

It was like reading several chapters in a decent book, but I'd rather wait for a full book to be written than read chapters while waiting a year at a time to get the next snippet.

I hadn't read the first one, before reading this which probably would have given me a heads up. I'll go back and read it though.

I just had so many hopes for a smutty romance in space and feel a bit let down.

This book gets three stars and zero chili peppers for spice.

After finishing Full Speed to a Crash Landing, I was absolutely charmed by Ada's mix of snark, confidence, and hidden vulnerability, and really wanted to see where the whole story went with Rian. As soon as I got my hot little hands on How to Steal a Galaxy I absolutely devoured it. At the end of Full Speed, Rian notes that he expects Ada to show up at a charity event held at a museum. He's not wrong: Ada continues her troublemaking ways with a heist at the gala. What priceless objet d'art will she take? Or is she working to disrupt the event?

I was a little spoiled (by the book jacket!) so I knew what she was there to steal, but seeing Rian and co. figure it out was so fun. At this point, I'll just read anything featuring Ada and her chaotic competency and strong inner voice. Like the first book, this is a slow burn (just a couple of kisses) and includes a hilarious epilogue from Rian's POV.

I seriously cannot wait to read the concluding book in a series, but I'm also enjoying the anticipation of having a brand new series to obsess about.

This objective review is based on a complimentary copy of the novella.

A HUGE thank you to the author, Beth Revis, and the publisher, DAW, for giving me the chance to read an ARC of this wonderful book and provide my honest opinion about it.

This novella was divine!!
When I tell you I was hooked from the first word...just read it. It's amazing. Just a whole other world I wanna live in.

I received an advanced copy for review.

I am on pins and needles waiting for the third novella in this series because I need to know what happens asap! I love a heist, and opposites attract, and a fancy gala with a fancy dress, and this brought all of those things together in the most delightful way. I absolutely love this series!!

I can’t wait to see how it all comes together in the end. Ada is keeping me on my toes!

It would make a delightful mini-series for whoever does that sort of thing.

Thanks to netgalley, DAW, and Beth Revis for the arc!

Hello I’m here today to tell you that I adored this little book. I ate up every second of Full Speed to a Crash Landing as well, and this one delivers all the same delicious morsels. What a fun little series!!!

This book features the most unhinged date night (yes I’m calling it that, I’m Team Ada obviously) at a space and tech MET gala. Ada and Rian’s dynamic is keeping me fed for real for real. The nice guy who thinks things will work if you do them the right way + vigilante con artist who only does things her own way vibes are so wonderful. I could read 100 little books of these two playing cat and mouse across space and not get tired of it.

Alongside all of this tension and banter, we also have plots to both destroy and save Earth, which are also interesting and it’s cool to see the different ways these are approached. I really like the way that Revis has built up this future version of our world and the challenges that have come with advancement and climate. Big big fan of these.

If you’re looking for fun little adventures that actually do have in reality very high stakes, check these out. 5⭐️ from me!! Can’t wait to get physical copies and show them off!!

Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for the earc of this book.
