Date I started the book: 11/26
Date I finished the book: 11/27
Genre: Space Opera/ Sci-Fi
Overall: Very good book, the plot was entertaining and it was very fast-paced. The characters were well written and with strong personalities.
Stars: 4 out of 5

Skringler frowned and leaned in closer to her.
"Maybe you're making too much of that little incident at Siliros"
"Killing 300 people isn't a little incident!!!"

This story is about Zyra Zanr a bounty hunter who is in debt and needs a lot of money, the only thing that could give her the money she needs is returning the terrorist Boris Skringler to The Intergallactic Alliance. Skringler is in New Venu’s prison and he was sentenced to death for breaking New Venus’s law. Zyra thought that the sentence to death was ridiculous, they were going to kill him because he was a man (men weren’t allowed in New Venus) , and not because he was one of the most dangerous criminals in the universe who killed a lot of people! She decided to risk everything that was at stake and free him from New Venus’s prison and then return him to the InterGallactic Alliance, where he would be judged and then probably sentenced to death anyway but because of what he did, not because of what he was.
What Zyra didn’t know was that both governments had other plans, and nothing was so simple as it seemed to be at first... In just seconds the fate of New Venus’s habitants and the peace between the worlds depended on her...

Zyra is a strong heroine and a kick-ass bounty hunter, she tries to do the right thing all the time and not to kill people who doesn’t deserve it, it was interesting to see the motives behind that attitude and some of her fears. Skringler is one bad cocky m*f*cker, but regardless being a criminal I kinda liked him. The best thing in the book (in my opinion) was how New Venus was portrayed, why the men were forbidden, the history of the place, the strength of the women, their abilities to still have children and know everything first, they are really intelligent women! But regardless how they believe that New Venus was the perfect world and their habitants were beyond perfection, it was all a lie, they still had their issues, their perverts, their criminals... The politics in this book were amazing and easy to follow and it was an important part of the plot.
The only thing I didn’t like was that according to the description of the book I thought that the relationship between Zyra and Skringler was going to be full of lust, passion or something like that, and that was not the case, I was expecting all the time something to happen between them or between them and Mikaela or something that justified the “Lust and Fury” that was described, but nothing never happened (except for some scenes between Mikaela and Zyra).

If you like sci-fi/space opera books read it because you won’t be disappointed, it’s a really intriguing and entertaining story full of action with strong characters and the best part it’s the twist in the end, I won’t say what it was but you’ll be expecting for more, that’s for sure!
My thanks to the author that kindly send me a copy of the book in exchange of an honest review. Sincerely, I’m not into Space Opera, it’s not a genre I read at all, but after I’ve read the blurb I was too intrigued so I decided to give it a chance. I’m glad that I did because the book is really well written, and the character development was great. Thanks Kevis! :)

It's my first time posting a review here, please forgive me if I put it on the wrong folder! :)
