Felicia's Reviews > Perdition

Well I'm a big fan of this author's other Sci-Fi series, Sirantha Jax, so I was very excited to see this new series that is kind of a spin-off, it has the world and a character in common. And on the surface of it, this is a really pulpy fun concept: Prison that has no supervision, territory wars, no hope, badass woman lead, etc. And it did fulfill several of the things I really loved about the concept. I really liked them main character, I believed MOSTLY that she could keep a group of bloodthirsty horrible criminals in a group under her, I loved the spymaster character, the different factions were really interesting too. The plot is fairly predictable based on the concept: Prison wars for territory. But is executed really well, with the idea of some interesting things happening in the future.

SLIGHT SPOILERS:
I guess the only thing I didn't enjoy was that I kind of started skimming in the last half because the prison was a BIT claustrophobic. I wish we had had more interactions with the other factions. And the lead male character was cool (he was from the Jax series) but he was a BIT TOO perfect in how GOOD he was at everything. Yes, totally justified by the logic built up, but then his perfection almost made the lead character seem weaker, somehow? Very small criticisms though, and I really REALLY hope the series continues and opens up even OUTSIDE the prison later. Very much looking forward to #2!
