Grimspace by Ann Aguirre
4.0
Sirantha Jax is one of those series that I've been planning to read for ages, but never got the time. I regret my procrastination so much, since this looks like will turn out to be one of my favorites.
What did I like in Grimspace?
+ Exploration of weird new planets and species.
+ Kick-ass heroine with stubborn streak. Jax plows trough and somehow manages not to get killed. With her determination, she reminded me of Kate Daniels.
+ A crew of quirky side-characters with well-developed personalities. I felt like they were one big dysfunctional family.
+ Mystery part of the story was good and I didn't know what was going to happen next.
What could be better...
- At first, I was a bit overwhelmed with too intense world-building. It took some time until all the terms and internal politics made sense to me.
- The romance. There is potential, but something was missing for me to see when the 'spark' ignited between them.

While there were some minor flaws, there is a lot of potential in this series. I'll definitely read the next book soon!
