Fortune's Pawn by Rachel Bach

2.0

I had high hopes for a good science fiction story but unfortunately this was not it. The main character, Devi, a young and headstrong mercenary-for-hire was okay as a leading lady but she spent far too much time acting unprofessionally for me to take her too seriously. There was also far too little attention on the actual science fiction elements I was interested in and far too much page time spent on Devi mooning over a man she hardly knows. I like a bit of romance in my stories but the romantic love interest here was about as bland as a wet noodle in my opinion and I didn't think there was ever any sexual tension at all so my investment in that part of the plot was a big fat zero.
