Grimspace - Book Review

Grimspace (Sirantha Jax #1) by Ann Aguirre

What is it about:
As the carrier of a rare gene, Sirantha Jax has the ability to jump ships through grimspace-a talent which makes her a highly prized navigator for the Corp. Then a crash landing kills everyone on board, leaving Jax in a jail cell with no memory of the crash. But her fun's not over. A group of rogue fighters frees her...for a price: her help in overthrowing the established order.

What did I think of it:
After reading Enemy Within I was in the mood for more SF so decided to give this book a try.

And I was blown away!

This story is pure awesomeness from start to finish. I fell in love with Sirantha from the start and my love only grew the further I got into the story. Add an interesting and action filled rollercoaster story set in an intriguing universe, more unforgettable characters and a writing style that's worth reading even if the story had been bad (which it so is not!) and we got a sure fire hit. Aguirre writes SciFi as it should be, where the SciFi elements actually contribute to the story instead of just functioning as a pretty backdrop. The one negative thing of this book is that I now have to try to get my hands on book 2 as I want more!

Why should you read it:
Pure SF awesomeness!!!
