DNF

This was billed as “Fast and the Furious in Space!” and I was like, RAD. But a) For me, action/racing scenes are way more compelling in movies, and also when The Rock is in them? and b) I got about 10 chapters in and this just felt like a very cynical mashup of Things That Are Popular. It's a dystopia, where corporations are in charge! And corporations give you tattoos if you race cars for them! And the tattoo is of a cool lion that's on fire! And there's a love triangle between childhood best friend who got hot and a SECRET PRINCE.

Anyway, like I said, I DNF'd so maybe by the end all these tropes are inverted! But I got other shit to read.

Teens who are real into cars and/or are slightly less jaded toward YA tropes might enjoy this. “Fast and Furious in Space” is an admittedly great hook. (Although! From that I thought they would be racing spaceships but actually they are just like, fancy cars? That they race on the ground? Of another planet? And it's the most important sport in the universe? For some reason?)
