About this listen

After having foiled multiple assassination attempts during his training, fighting pirates, and encountering a group of terrorists bent on destroying entire solar systems. Desmond McLaughlin thought he’d have an easier time of it on official deployment.

Which of course leads into an honor duel with another adept, more encounters with the terrorists, and learning from an Imperial Quester that the terrorists were actually a cult believed to be sponsored by one of the Hegemony’s neighbors.

One would think that Desmond would learn to not tempt fate at this point....

But that was not enough for the Clan Sire of Clan McLaughlin. Even trying to keep his head down and stop causing problems—as Captain Skytreader requested—Desmond can’t help but find trouble as the Fist of Defiance finally gets its replacement adepts and they head back onto their patrol route with the rest of the Seventh Border Fleet. At least he’s got his fifth guard picked out, now just to decide who will take the sixth slot on his team.

The question that haunts Clan McLaughlin now is: what sort of trouble might they run into next? Accidentally sparking off an intergalactic war? Having a Rift go nova on them? Or maybe—just maybe—Fate might cut her favorite squeaky toy a break.

Not likely.

Monster Girls in Space is a sci-fi, fantasy, semi-military, men’s romance, progression fantasy about a man becoming a space-wizard amongst a universe full of monster girls (it’s in the title, you should have expected that part). Expect adventure, mischief, magic, fighting, and unconventional relationships in a galaxy that is curious what sort of mischief humanity will get up to.

Only issue is the wait until the next one releases on audible. Looking forward to listening to where Desmond goes next.

Another great book.

another brilliant world building entry, with great relationships and fantastically written action. the way the magic works does feel a bit anime with long phrases but it feels right.

my only complaint is that there is some padding with every character recapping events every other page. also, the spice is toned down a bit this book, despite more characters being present.

aside from that minor gripe, the action continues, as Des develops! it's slow burn but good. though I want the author to add a centaur cat girl to the romances!! they seem super interesting and he has teased the option so much!

can't wait for the next one, hopefully with some more earth politics / consequences AND cult developments!

excellent action and relationships

An epic story just amplified by fantastic voice actors. This really feels like a space wizard who is no longer a trainee but rather a fully fledged wizard, and i cannot recommend this book enough
