Review - Zenith (The Androma Saga, #1) by Sasha Alsberg and Lindsay Cummings




Title: Zenith (The Androma Saga, #1)
Authors: Sasha Alsberg and Lindsay Cummings
Pages: 368
Publisher: HQ Young Adult
Release Date: 11th January 2018

Blurb from Goodreads: 

There is darkness sweeping across the stars. 

Most know Androma Racella as the Bloody Baroness: a powerful mercenary whose reign of terror stretches across the Mirabel Galaxy. To those aboard her fearsome glass starship the Marauder, she’s just Andi, their captain and protector.

When a routine mission goes awry, the all-girl crew’s resilience is tested as they find themselves in a most unfamiliar place: at the mercy of a powerful bounty hunter connected to Andi’s past and a harrowing betrayal.
 










My Review:
 
*I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Thanks to HQ and NetGalley*




DNF @38%


Androma Racella - Andi to her friends, and the Bloody Baroness to her enemies - is the captain of the Marauder, a glass spaceship with an all-female crew.
When Andi and her crew find themselves at the hands of a bounty hunter who is linked to Andi's past, they are given a job offer.
Can the crew of the Marauder complete the job?


First off I want to say how excited I was for Zenith. I queued for ages at YALC but missed out on a copy. So I was very happy when my NetGalley request was accepted.
From the very beginning, I had trouble connecting with the writing style and the story. The plot was okay, but I lost interest several times and, in the end, I couldn't bring myself to read any more of the book.
The characters were average. I'm not left with any particularly strong feelings about any of them.
Every time I saw 'Bloody Baroness', I thought of the Bloody Baron in the Harry Potter books. The name of Andi's ship (the Marauder) also made me think of the HP books (the Marauder's Map).
For quite a long time I actually read 'Androma' as 'Andromeda'. Oops.
I liked that the Marauder had an all-female crew.
I might try to read this again in the future.


Overall this was a disappointing read.
