Awesome romantic sci fi adventure
The worldbuilding is fascinating. Elena, Theron, and his crew are loveable, believable, and so much fun. I laughed a lot while reading this book. But I wouldn't call it "cozy." Some bad stuff happens; it isn't massive death, doom, and destruction, but characters do die. Darkflight is the kind of book I hope to find when I browse on Amazon: humor, a kickass female main character, loveable supporting characters, and believable romance. I read Darkflight in KU and immediately bought it to reread.
