I LOVE funny and quirky space adventures and now one with a Latina main character!? I loved this book.
My favorite thing about SciFi is that it’s a genre that allows you to be as creative as you want, and Valdes did just that! Psychic cats, dinosaur orgy, a main love interest whose emotions you know through his smell? THIS is what I love.
I also really enjoyed how the use of Spanish and Latin American culture wasn’t justified. It just existed and that was fine!
I loved Eva as a main character, she was funny, sarcastic, grumpy, and I want her to be my best friend. Vakar is my love, I’ll protect him till the end of time.
This isn't the kind of book that will have you constantly turning the page, but instead is a book you can easily put down and pick up at another time and still have fun.
Also, it had Star Wars references, so it immediately won me over 🥰

Captain Ava Innocente has crew she loves, a ship she adores, and enough freight work to keep everyone a float. After her sister is kidnapped by a galactic criminal organization, she's on the hook to complete jobs to keep her sister as safe as possible. Also, there are psychic cats.
What follows is a break neck, amusing series of events that never go exactly the way anyone wants. It's laugh out loud (like actually) funny. It's filled with references to other sci-fi books. The plot is interesting enough to keep it moving.
It was a fun, diverting read filled with real friendships, family drama, and redemption.
