Welcome to Litsy!

36/150 If you like Firefly, Guardians of the Galaxy, Becky Chambers or found family stories, this is the book for you. The galaxy is divided by the powers of the Trust and the Union, with the Guild somewhere in between. The crew of the Ambit discovers a secret that could destroy this fragile power structure. There's plenty of action, snarky banter, a betrayal I didn't see coming, and an ending to tug at the heartstrings. 5 🌟 read

4.5/5

The crew of the Ambit find themselves in the middle of galaxy wide conspiracy, and they've got to find a way to stop it before more planets and their inhabitants die.

I love found family on a spaceship. This was a fun sci-fi adventure with a great cast of characters.

While I can verify the comparisons to Becky Chambers and the MurderBot Diaries, and have to say this series-starter is definitely action-packed and big-hearted, something didn‘t work for me…I seemed to misread the characters and at one point was sure a polycule was in the works? These relationships so crucial to the success of this story were unclear to me, and I didn‘t feel like I got to know our main characters well enough to really love them.
