Galaxy Pirates
In a distant future, mankind discovers they're not alone in this universe. Aliens arrive, and the Earth gets engulfed in space wars, where humans turn out helpless and defenceless, regardless of their nuclear and biological weapons. One of the strongest and the most aggressive species of aliens - Reptiloids - turn Planet Earth into their slave-trading colony. Soon the population of humans drastically decreases, so that they are on the verge of extinction. Gods, deities, fate, light - everything seems to have forsaken them.
Violet Hawthorne is one of the few surviving humans, sold as a slave. The nineteen-year-old girl works in a pub on Planet Irahor of Radenoids (the species that created humans millennia ago). She is treated worse than an animal and laments about her cruel fate. Yet, unlike other humans, Violet has not given up on hope - she knows that somewhere across the stars roams a man who can reverse the course of fate - the Young Captain of the Galaxy Pirates.
Violet dreams to find this legendary man and enter his crew of audacious pirates fighting against the cruel world, in the hope of getting their help to save her planet and people.

Okay! So Violet the main character is an enslaved human working as a bar until, Sinbad - a herminoid, comes and blows it up... Which is rather deserved but nevertheless Violet is horrified. Which leads to an epic adventure.
Okay so let me address a complaint that some people have: the female characters are weak, I will admit Violet is kind of weak but there are also Maluma, Diyuma, Jallane (albeit she's dead but that still counts.) Another thing is the fact that the writer wrote a race called the "Daluma" and they are a female-run society (or were.) Of course, there are going to be more strong male characters because it's about men trying to have equality. And to add Violet isn't that bad. She's just homesick and probably has PTSD, and whilst I personally prefer Ellie (her sister) over her she's not a bad character and she's realistic, of course, someone with her past is going to have trauma and I can appreciate the author for not making another OP Mary Sue who holds a grudge against the universe... Not every strong person has to have a GUN and kill people!
So in all its a good book❤

I enjoy sci-fi, especially space opera with strong female characters, and at first it seemed like this book promised that adventure, despite the lack of editing. I got about 2/3 through and put it down.
Issue 1: The plot of the book reads like the author didn't know what they were going to do with the story and was making things up. I'm all for "pantser" author styles, but the book needed a comprehensive edit to create a more stable sense of direction.
Issue 2: There was too much stuff going on (magic, science, and "history"-wise), some which wasn't fully explained. The consequence of having so much crammed in was that the story and characters were weighed down or suppressed. I love an abundance of world-building and high scifi or fantasy concepts, it's the delivery here that was poor.
Issue 3: The female characters were weak (mostly human, abused, shrinking, tearful victims) while the male characters had all the powers. The "heroes"/"anti-heroes" were over-the-top tormented souls, and there were very few female characters who could match them for might or importance.
If there is romance in this story, I didn't quite make it to that point. I stuck it out longer hoping for it, but when I realized I didn't care about the characters who's relationships might be developing, I decided I was done.

This book reminds me of Treasure Planet, a film I liked to watch as a kid. They both have pirate ships sailing through the dangerous void of space and coming upon fascinating and imaginative obstacles, as well as swashbuckling pirates who are brutal but also have a lot of character and personality. However, Galaxy Pirates stands apart from Treasure Planet in its well developed magic system and philosophical exploration of morality and godhood. It is clear that Ms. Tsertsvadze has put much thought into the setting of her story and its characters. I recommend this book for anyone who enjoys sci fi/fantasy blends and pirate adventures.
