The audacity6/17/2023 I love sci-fi and thought this oddball book would be right up my alley. The other ratings/reviews are all high so I do want to point out that I’m an outlier here.Īnyone who follows my reviews knows I love books with imagination and that are different, I crave variety. The only reason I am even giving this book 3 stars is because the writing quality is there (except for the use of ‘irregardless’) what wasn’t there was my personal enjoyment. I have to be honest that this read was a struggle for me. If you’re tired of the same old cynical, militaristic sci-fi and crave characters who genuinely care about each other and an image of life in the Universe that isn’t all gloom and doom, you’re going to have a good time in the Audacity. If Douglas Adams got punted into a sticky orange pool of feminism and made sweet love to Futurama, you’d have something approximating The Audacity.įans of Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy will appreciate the style, fans of Futurama will love the blend of laugh out loud humor and feels, fans of Steven Universe will enjoy that Space is Very Gay. Finally, she has a job she likes and a friend to share her winnings with-until the Goddess of Chaos screws the whole thing up, and Xan’s unmentionable past makes a booty call. Seizing the opportunity for a better life, May learns how to race the Audacity and pilots her way into interstellar infamy. She’s inadvertently rescued by Xan who’s been orbiting Earth in a day-glo orange rocket ship, watching re-runs of “I Love Lucy”. May’s humdrum life gets flung into hyperdrive when she’s abducted, but not all aliens are out to probe her. A wild ride stuffed to the cut-lines with humor, heart, and space shenanigans.
