“Just pay me what you owe me”
4.5 out of 5 stars
I don’t know why I can’t shake this feeling. Roak reminded me of Guardians of the Galaxy, the main character had the same cocky demeanor while still getting the job done. The comparison stops at the main character, though, this was much bloodier and much more violent than that film.
Roak was a really enjoyable main character to follow around. He has his own style and does things for no-nonsense reasons. He gets the job done efficiently and as quickly as possible. He’s a great bounty hunter who is self-admittedly a little broken.
The story itself was really enjoyable. The first part, the reader isn’t really sure who Roak is or why he’s doing the things he’s doing. But after a little while, we quickly figure out who he is and what makes him tick. The cast of characters he meets along the way to getting paid range from completely insane to really enjoyable.
This was an intergalactic thrill ride with elements for a lot of different readers.
Andrew B. Wehrlen does a great job narrating this, allowing this fast-paced story to play out quickly. I really enjoyed his narration and will continue to support books narrated by him.
