Conocida como la Baronesa Sangrienta, la capitana Androma Racella y su heterogénea tripulación de piratas espaciales recorren la galaxia de Mirabel aceptando cualquier trabajo de dudosa reputación que les permita mantenerse con vida. 

Pero cuando una misión de rutina se complica y queda a merced de un sádico cazarrecompensas relacionado con el pasado de Andi, la tripulación del saqueador es coaccionada para embarcarse en un peligroso viaje que podría restaurar el orden de su nave o desatar una guerra con la capacidad de extinguir los mundos.

Opinión:

Solo diré tres palabras: mujeres piratas espaciales. Si con esto y la preciosa portada aún no estáis convencidos con leer este libro, nada lo hará.

Vale, hablando en serio, escogí el libro puesto que una de las autoras (Sasha) es mi booktuber favorita, y cuando leí la sinopsis supe que tenia que leerlo. También había visto muy malas críticas del libro y tenía curiosidad. Ahora una vez finalizado puedo decir que no las entiendo, teniendo en cuenta que muchas son de gente que ni lo acabó. 

Empecemos; este libro nos narra la historia de Androma, conocida como la Baronesa Sangrienta, una pirata espacial que junto a su tripulación de mujeres recorre la galaxia aceptando todo tipo de trabajos, ya os podéis imaginar que serán de todo menos legales. Un día su pasado vuelve a por ella y se ve envuelta en un encargo con un hombre al que esperaba no tener que volver a ver en su vida y bueno, a partir de aquí, todo se complica.

Este libro me recuerda a una mezcla de Trono de Cristal y Seis de Cuervos. La protagonista, Androma, es una mujer de pelo platino, muy guapa que por culpa del destino cuando era muy joven se ve apartada de su vida acaudalada y tiene que vivir como una criminal para sobrevivir. Sus compañeras son lo más. Me encanta que hayan creado un universo con diferentes razas en él. 

En lo que a trama se refiere, el libro está escrito en los diferentes puntos de vista de los personajes principales y la misión que deben tomar es una misión prácticamente imposible. Esos dos factores me recordaron mucho a Seis de Cuervos, aunque en el fondo no tiene nada que ver.

En definitiva, es un libro que me ha gustado mucho. El único problema que le veo es que era muy largo y eso a veces hacía que fuera un poco pesado en depende de que momento. 

Puntuación: ★★★★☆

Most know Androma Racella as the Bloody Baroness, a powerful mercenary whose reign of terror stretches across the Mirabel Galaxy. To those aboard her glass starship, Marauder, however, she's just Andi, their friend and fearless leader.

But when a routine mission goes awry, the Marauder's all-girl crew is tested as they find themselves in a treacherous situation and at the mercy of a sadistic bounty hunter from Andi's past.

Meanwhile, across the galaxy, a ruthless ruler waits in the shadows of the planet Xen Ptera, biding her time to exact revenge for the destruction of her people. The pieces of her deadly plan are about to fall into place, unleashing a plot that will tear Mirabel in two.

Andi and her crew embark on a dangerous, soul-testing journey that could restore order to their shipor just as easily start a war that will devour worlds. As the Marauder hurtles toward the unknown, and Mirabel hangs in the balance, the only certainty is that in a galaxy run on lies and illusion, no one can be trusted.

Opinion:

I will only say three words: female space pirates. If with this and the beautiful cover you are not yet convinced to read this book, nothing will.

Okay, seriously, I chose the book because one of the authors (Sasha) is my favorite booktuber, and when I read the synopsis I knew I had to read it. I had also seen very bad reviews of the book and I was curious. Now once finished I can say that I do not understand them, considering that many are from people who did not finish it.

Let's begin; this book tells us the story of Androma, known as the Bloody Baroness, a space pirate who along with his crew of women travels the galaxy accepting all kinds of jobs, and you can imagine that they will be anything but legal. One day her past comes back for her and she is involved in a job with a man she hoped she would not have to see again in her life and well, from here, everything gets complicated.

This book reminds me of a mixture of Throne of Glass and Six of Crows. The protagonist, Androma, is a woman with platinum hair, very beautiful that because of fate when she was very young she is separated from her wealthy life and has to live like a criminal to survive. Her partners are amazing. I love that they created a universe with different races in it.

As far as the plot is concerned, the book is written in the different points of view of the main characters and the mission they must take is an almost impossible mission. Those two factors reminded me a lot of Six of Crows, although deep down it has nothing to do with it.

In conclusion, it is a book that I liked very much. The only problem that I see is that it was very long and that sometimes made it a bit heavy depending on what time.

Rating: ★★★★☆
