A dark sapphic lovestory where nothing is wasted.

Good lord this was intense. The writing is absolutely stunning and the ending had my stomach twisted in knots. Would read more from this author.

This was an enjoyable short story about the Bounty Hunter Bazine Netal.

This showcases her capability to adapt and her ruthlessness to complete the mission given to her. By going to her teacher to borrow his ship, taking his underling and giving him some training in the life of bounty; we see a softer side to her.

She doesn't take betrayal lightly . . . it brings out her true darkness.

Took me a little bit to get into this book for some reason, but once I did they would kill somebody off (spoiler). It's a bit of a slog to follow this party from start to finish. But if you can get behind just reading a fun little fantasy book, you'll have a fun time.
