Review: Heaven's Queen

✩✩✩✩

 

From the moment she took a job on Captain Caldswell's doomed ship, Devi Morris's life has been one disaster after another: government conspiracies, two alien races out for her blood, an incurable virus that's eating her alive.

Now, with the captain missing and everyone-even her own government-determined to hunt her down, things are going from bad to impossible. The sensible plan would be to hide and wait for things to blow over, but Devi's never been one to shy from a fight, and she's getting mighty sick of running.

It's time to put this crisis on her terms and do what she knows is right. But with all human life hanging on her actions, the price of taking a stand might be more than she can pay.

Genre: science fiction, science fiction romance

Publication date: April 2014

Mature content: yes

Review: Heaven's Queen is the third and last installment in the Paradox series by Rachel Bach, and is a hard book to rate and reviews - in fact, I feel like I have a love/hate relationship with the whole series. 

 

In some places, I really dislike Devi and her spur of the moment decisions. while in others I can't help but admire her courage and determination. The same thing happens with Rupert - while it's clear he's head over heels in love with Devi, he also behaves pretty badly sometimes. 

 

 

 

 

 

But overall, this is a book you need to read if you've read the other two, and also one that will keep you turning the pages because it's absolutely full of twists and turns right until the very end. Not the best science fiction books I've ever read, but certainly with bonus points for originality and for suspense. 

 

You can also read my reviews of book one (Fortune's Pawn) and book two (Honor's Knight).  

Happy readings,
