Sapphic casino heist...in space?? Sign me up! The story is about 5 women who come together to take back what's theirs. I loved the story and the pacing. I tend to have a hard time reading sci-fi because the world-building takes some time for me to understand. But the setting was so clear and to the point that I was able to just jump into the story. I enjoyed each character's POV and their perspectives on certain situations. I was rooting for all the female characters and was satisfied with the ending!

Did not finish book. Stopped at 32%.
If I had a nickel for every time the author used “crap on a stick” I’d have two nickels. It’s not a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

She also uses “crap” more than 10 times in the book, not counting when she mentions the game craps since the setting is a casino. I don’t vibe with the word “crap” especially this much in one book.

Also I couldn’t get into 5 POV’s. I made it 100 pages in and had not even heard from a couple characters more than once.

I loved this book! The plot was high-stakes, exciting, and unpredictable. Each character was totally unique and interesting, and the relationships between them were stunning. A delicious read!

This book was definitely my type on paper, and it mainly delivered! The glamorous space casino setting was fun and exciting, and the eventual heist crew all had solid motivations to want to see it through. Stand out character for me was definitely Psylina - don't take your eyes off her for a second! The only drawback for me was there was a little bit too much longing and miscommunication, I think this is just down to the number of point-of-view characters. But apart from that this is a space romp that's worth spending time with!

Sadly, my search for a great heist novel remains ongoing. This ain’t it, folks. I had a lot of problems with the writing. Everything from the world to the characters and their background was explained so quickly and explicitly, as if the reader were an idiot. No mysteries to unravel, no intrigue, nothing to think about. Also, having five POV characters and using first person is confusing at the best of times, but especially in this instance where their voices were nearly identical. They also all read very juvenile, and I don’t know how I was supposed to believe that these women were capable and clever enough to pull off a heist in a cool and satisfying way when they came off so immaturely.
