Welcome to Litsy!

I really enjoyed the beginning of this book, but kind of lost interest towards the end. It was just a bit too much for my taste. Would be good for older teens who like space sci-fi.

If you like sci-fi books that keep you on your toes, wondering what the characters will choose and what will happen next, “Avalon” is a great option for you.

“Avalon” is an engaging and fast paced novel. In a universe where the Interstellar Transportation Agency, an agency in control of the starsystems forming the Confederation, and the crime lords that monitor it, are heavily corrupt, power is abused and stolen at every opportunity.

The comparisons to Firefly are apt. Vulnerable girl with special abilities. Snarky captain who inspires great loyalty and gets beat up a lot. Overreaching massive government concealing a major secret. Quirky crew of thieves and rapscallions. Only drop the ages of all to YA. First in a duology, this was good. Lacking a bit of the Whedon wit this was still a solid space adventure read.

Didn't realize this one was going to totally have a Firefly feel. Quietly humming "You can't take the sky from me," as I read.

#TBRtemptation post! For YA fans & "Firefly" fans, this is the first in the Avalon series. Jeth & his ragtag crew of teenage mercenaries have traveled a ruthless part of the Confederation's galaxy stealing metatech, devices that allow faster-than-light travel, & selling those devices to the highest corrupt bidders. Then he comes across information that both the galaxy's crime bosses & government leaders want. Target #1. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook ?

Currently working on this.
