Week 28 Reviews: Honor Among Thieves, Honor Bound, Honor Lost

From Goodreads:
Meet your new favorite kickass heroine in this daring YA series by New York Times bestselling authors Rachel Caine and Ann Aguirre, a thrilling yet romantic futuristic adventure perfect for fans of Claudia Gray's A Thousand Pieces of You.

Petty criminal Zara Cole has a painful past that's made her stronger than most, which is why she chose life in New Detroit instead moving with her family to Mars. In her eyes, living inside a dome isn't much better than a prison cell.

Still, when Zara commits a crime that has her running scared, jail might be exactly where she's headed. Instead Zara is recruited into the Honors, an elite team of humans selected by the Leviathan—a race of sentient alien ships—to explore the outer reaches of the universe as their passengers.

Zara seizes the chance to flee Earth's dangers, but when she meets Nadim, the alien ship she's assigned, Zara starts to feel at home for the first time. But nothing could have prepared her for the dark, ominous truths that lurk behind the alluring glitter of starlight.

From Goodreads:
Zara Cole was a thief back on Earth, but she's been recently upgraded to intergalactic fugitive. On the run after a bloody battle in a covert war that she never expected to be fighting, Zara, her co-pilot Beatriz, and their Leviathan ship Nadim barely escaped the carnage with their lives. Now Zara and her crew of Honors need a safe haven, far from the creatures who want to annihilate them. But with two wounded Leviathan to treat, plus human and non-human refugees to help, they'll have to settle for the nearest outpost, called the Sliver: a wild, dangerous warren of alien criminals. Zara's skills from the Zone may be invaluable. However, Zara discovers that the secrets of the Sliver may have the power to turn the tide of the war they left behind—but in the wrong direction. Soon Zara will have to make a choice: stand against the ultimate evil or run from it. But she's never walked away from a fight.

Honor Bound is the second installment in Rachel Caine and Ann Aguirre's thrilling and fresh space saga. 

From Goodreads:
Space renegade Zara Cole may have finally met her match. Lifekiller—a creature that can devour entire planets—is spreading terror throughout the universe, and it seems nothing can stand in the monstrous godking's way.

Reeling from a series of battles, Zara and her wounded band of allies are going to need a strategy before they face Lifekiller again. Zara's street smarts may not be enough when their enemy could be anywhere, destroying civilizations and picking his teeth with the bones.

And just when it feels like she's reached a special place in her bond with Bea and Nadim, an ex from Earth with an ax to grind comes after her with nefarious intentions. With human enemies, alien creatures, and mechanical stalkers on her tail, it's down to the wire for Zara to save the galaxy—and the people she calls home—before the godking consumes them all.

My third review of Honor Among Thieves

My Review:
I just had to reread this book! I've read most of these books a few times, but the final book just the once, and that was a few years ago now. I just love this series again, and it was really great to spend this time in the world with these characters!

Zara is a survivor. With her headaches, and what her dad did, to living on the streets so she could make her own decisions in life. Some of them aren't great, but it ends with her joining the Honors program, which is the best thing that could've happened to her, meeting Nadim and Beatriz!

The humour that Beatriz programmed into EMITU was top notch. It just gave a look at Beatriz's personality before we got much time focused on her. Plus it was really funny to read, it was just my type of humour!

The threat that they're facing-Lifekiller-well, the threat is right there in the name. I loved watching the allies gather together, to face him together! I mean, we had the big collective at the end of Honor Bound, but man, the end of Honor Lost was so fantastic! 

Loved reading this series again, it was just so good, and I need to read the rest of the books by Rachel Caine, and more by Ann Aguirre!
