“After relatively enjjoing the first book, I had high hopes for this. I don’t know what happened. I might have read them too close together, or the writing style that worked well enough for me in the first book was just too much for me in this one, or maybe the plot in this book just didn’t hook me enough. Absolutely no idea. Anyways, the concept of this series was so cool and interesting; even as an American who only loosely pays attention to EuroVision. I was hoping this would be more about the aftermath of the ending of the first book, but it was more of the same (no spoilers!). I did enjoy it enough to read it super quickly and I did care enough to finish, so I guess that’s something.
Thank you to Saga Press for providing me with an eBook copy to review on NetGalley.”

“Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy meets Eurovision meets The Fifth Element in this wild sequel to one of my most recent favorite novels.
Space Opera was a wild Eurovision acid trip and Space Oddity keeps the party rolling with it's unhinged banter, epic sci-fi adventures, and enough musical pop culture references to stump any trivia night aficionado.
The first book wrapped itself up quite nicely with a few unanswered questions involving some side characters so I didn't expect a sequel but I'm not mad we got one!
Continuing where book one left off, Decibel Jones and the Absolute Zeros saved the Earth from absolute annihilation. Did they break a few intergalactic laws to survive? Maybe, but so did every other alien who tried to stop them from winning in the first place!
Will everyone read this book and absolutely adore it as much as I do? Probably, not, but it's still a wild good time. Space Oddity is an eccentric, eclectic, and an all around epic romp!”
