A review by tallangryplanet
The Stellar Snow Job, by Marie Howalt

adventurous funny lighthearted

4.0

Alannah, a tourism guide writer taking advantage of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to write about an unexplored planet. Richard, an ex-military private investigator hired to prevent the illegal visitors of said planet from making trouble. Eddie, a pilot with a love for adrenaline. 

The characters of The stellar snow job might be one of my new favorite gangs of all time, even if they're just getting to know each other in this book. Although this is a short story, they felt well developed and I really enjoyed discovering the little (and big) tidbits about their lives and personalities. The story itself is engaging too, but the thing that really makes it worth reading are these characters and the funny/awkward moments they create. I also really enjoyed the world, as there weren't any heavy infodumping moments and I felt like I was some sort of tourist myself, learning about it as I went along. 

All in all, I really enjoyed reading this novella, and will definitely be coming back to this series as the next books get published. If you're looking for a fun afternoon read or a book to carry in your bag to read whenever you have a moment, this is definitely it!

Thank you to the author for the opportunity to read and review this book.
