Shadow Run Michael Miller AdriAnne Strickland Books

SHADOW RUN is an action-packed adventure from the very first page. Intrigue and mystery are the name of the game, leaving you on the edge of your seat and flipping pages even more rapidly with with every passing scene. While some plot may have been a tad predictable, it did not detract from how enjoyable the overall story was, and in fact, these instances lull you into a sense of complacency, thinking you know where something's headed, before coming at you with a wallop of a twist.

Also, this book has essentially everything I love: ragtag group of people forming a found family; space travel; a cinnamon roll boy and a badass, strong, intelligent girl falling for each other; snarky banter; slow burn romance; morality battles; a genderfluid babe and his queer lover; inexplicably strong supernatural abilities; and more!

I'm so intrigued by the Shadow and Qole's ability to access the energy's power, and I cannot wait to see how Strickland and Miller will expand on the characters finding answers. Basra and Arjan are my everything, individually and together. Telu is my small child that I want only good things for, and I'm looking forward to more of grumpy Eton and his endless cache of weapons. And Nev, my prince, I am excited and nervous to see where he'll go from here, after the events of the last few chapters. I want to know everything.

Shadow Run Michael Miller AdriAnne Strickland Books Reviews

Favorite Quote

“Shame. That was an exquisite dress.”

Let me just say, there is a biiig chunk I just have to mark as spoilers. Keep that in mind before reading.

I received an ARC of Shadow Run via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

In my humble opinion, this isn’t just “reminiscent” of Firefly, it honestly ripped portions of it with some tweaking. If you’ve seen Serenity, you’ve read the end of this book if I’m being honest. It has them overpowering an army with drones they cannot control and rip ships to shreds. Just way less creepy than reavers. Then crashing their ship into the citadel, followed by lots of people getting shot/sliced up until some political maneuvering wins them their freedom, but just for now. There needs to be more books you know.

Let me show you. With some direct quotes from the book. Let’s start with my personal favorite.

“Climbing, spinning, diving, Qole made the Kaitan dance like a kite in the wind.”

Ha. Familiar no? This is followed a few pages later by

“The Kaitan scatter a million sparks into the air as it slid across the floor of the decimated hangar.”

It even has the iconic River scene after she is standing in the carnage of the Reavers.

“Near the battered, hulking shape of the Kaitan, Nev stood over Eton. Eton was on the ground, holding his leg in a puddle of blood. Blood was all around them. Nev was still for the moment, chest and shoulders heaving, swords held out in either hand. His jacket was in tatters, his arms covered in dripping cuts.”

And let’s be honest. Eton is just Jayne. Angry, mouthy, tons of ammo, guns blazing, even down to pouring alcohol on his wounded leg instead of getting medical treatment.

Now that’s not to say I didn’t enjoy the read. I really honestly did. I love Serenity and Firefly. I just felt let down that the ending was pretty much exactly the same as the movie. I don’t mind homages to great stories. I just wanted it to come out more on it’s own.

I honestly liked Nev and Qole. I honestly felt for Nev by the end. He pretty much had his whole world ripped apart and I like how Qole actually recognized that, even through everything she went through herself. Qole was a strong lead. I wish we saw more of some of the side characters like Telu and Basra. Though we got some interesting insights to Basra at the end that I’m curious how that will go from here. I really liked Solara and her attitude. We got so little of her and I found her quite interesting.

I can’t say I found the blurb for the sequel all that exciting. This book could probably stand on it’s own and yet I’ll probably read the next one in hopes of more of the side characters to see if they get fleshed out. Honestly I’d like to see much more of his sister Solara. Though it just really didn’t catch my interest so it’s more like…if I get around to it.

The writing was fluid and easy to read, the descriptions were pretty decent and I felt the romance was not too fast which was nice. I found myself enjoying the beginning but the more like Serenity it became, I just got a bit disenchanted. Perhaps the sequel will break more into it’s own? It was pretty fast-paced and overall I did like it, just didn’t wow me or anything.
It started a bit slow for me. But once the story started to take on more character and the twists and turns started, I became riveted and couldn't put it down. The genre is hard to describe as it's part sci-fi, part mystery, part romance, part.... As the story continues you get more involved in the characters. In summary, a great read that I highly recommend.
It's not a stretch to say this book has it all innovative science fiction/fantasy, non-stop action with plenty of cliff-hanger/nail biter moments to keep you guessing about the story's ultimate direction/main character's fate and sprinkled with comedic dialog that cuts the tension and keeps the characters real.

The authors created a unique universe full of multi-dimensional/ complex characters to care about - the story and setting feels like a whole food experience -but at the same time die-hard science fiction/Fantasy/Comedy-adventure fans will enjoy spotting the influences and references to epic movies and books which have gone before.
I absolutely devoured this book. I've been hungry for characters with more diverse backgrounds and perspectives - just something NEW with my favorite style of space adventures. Shadow Run totally delivered for me. Qole is one of my favorite new characters in a while, I really wanted to spend more time in her head. The way the crew balanced and conflicted with one another, the intelligent ways the authors created distinct cultures with disparate wealth and reach, and the gender-fluid character of Basra - I totally loved it. The pace starts off somewhat deliberate, but it's a straight sprint to the end that had me biting my nails. I'm so glad to learn that more books are on the way.
This book is great and I can't wait to read the rest of the series! In addition to introducing complex, strong characters, the story takes us on a mindbending, hair-raising journey through space, filled with challenges to navigate and battles to win. The story raises complex political and economic issues as different kingdoms maneuver for dominance; introduces complicated questions about family and loyalty; and reinvents the age-old philosophical question about the extent to which sacrificing people is ever justifiable in serving the greater good. Oh, and along the way, there is a Cinderella-like ball gown; a romance involving a gender-fluid character; and fights involving specialized soldiers trained in a weapon called a Disruptor Blade. Bring on the next volume!
SHADOW RUN is an action-packed adventure from the very first page. Intrigue and mystery are the name of the game, leaving you on the edge of your seat and flipping pages even more rapidly with with every passing scene. While some plot may have been a tad predictable, it did not detract from how enjoyable the overall story was, and in fact, these instances lull you into a sense of complacency, thinking you know where something's headed, before coming at you with a wallop of a twist.

Also, this book has essentially everything I love ragtag group of people forming a found family; space travel; a cinnamon roll boy and a badass, strong, intelligent girl falling for each other; snarky banter; slow burn romance; morality battles; a genderfluid babe and his queer lover; inexplicably strong supernatural abilities; and more!

I'm so intrigued by the Shadow and Qole's ability to access the energy's power, and I cannot wait to see how Strickland and Miller will expand on the characters finding answers. Basra and Arjan are my everything, individually and together. Telu is my small child that I want only good things for, and I'm looking forward to more of grumpy Eton and his endless cache of weapons. And Nev, my prince, I am excited and nervous to see where he'll go from here, after the events of the last few chapters. I want to know everything.
