Interesting quest space opera with really alien aliens and nicely drawn characters. I enjoyed her imaginative retelling of the grail quest.

rwmg That does sound intriguing. Wishlisted 1w

Maya, a graduate student & former thief, promises to help her dearest friend steal the object xyr species needs to repopulate. Only w/ Earth‘s military after them, & something destroying the pathways between space, everything is much more complicated.

Gorgeous. Heists in space, a wildly diverse & interesting cast, & a twisty turny plot that kept me hooked. A slow start, & a little info dump heavy sometimes, but well worth the read.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

I had a really good time with this because heists in space but also this has some flaws so it's not really perfect. Would I go on another adventure with the cast in this world yes but I'd hope for a little more depth than this provided.

This was a charming YA heist of a group of all asexual friends!

While there are a lot of things I like about Las Vegas, the actual casinos are pretty low on the list. 🤣

#SundayFunday Hope you all have a great day and don‘t forget to tag me!

@julesG described this as Becky Chambers‘ Wayfarer series crossed with Martha Wells‘ Murderbot and I think that‘s pretty apt. 🥰

It‘s a sci-fi quest sort of story, with very diverse characters. If you‘d like exposure to help you get used to all the pronouns, this book is for you!

I don‘t think it‘s a story that will stick with me, but very enjoyable while listening to it.

MaleficentBookDragon You sold me on it when you said Murderbot. Stacked. 😹 5mo

Book 250/250 🥳🥳

Diverse cast of characters - reminded me of Becky Chambers' Wayfarers and Martha Wells' Murderbot. The Stardust Grail must be found to save at least one civilisation and keep the different corners of the universe connected. Maya, a 31 year old PhD student of xeno-anthropology with Japanese roots and a decade of experience in stealing alien art, teams up with an ancient alien she calls Uncle (who looks like a potato... ⬇️

julesG ... with ten cephalopod-like arms and a myriad of small tentacles), a mercenary from Manchester, and a rogue medical robot to steal the Stardust Grail from one of the largest museums in the galaxy. 5mo
Mollyanna Woohoo! Congrats. 5mo

Two books delivered today. I got my July #aardvarkbookclub pick. I'm excited to read this one.
And I ordered the other book because 1. the title, Filthy Rich Fae🧚‍♀️, is absolutely ridiculous and 2. the pretty yellow edges.

Pippin, Tommy, and I are finishing up the tagged ebook. While I liked Kitasei's first novel better overall, I still think this one is worth reading if you're a scifi fan. It took me a little while to connect with the characters. Maya (the MC) isn't super likeable, but she definitely grew on me. This is part museum heist, part space horror. There's some great banter, really unique "alien" races, and just the right amount of nail biting action.
