The Good for Nothings is a fun, adventurous read with a lot of heart. It definitely did remind me a bit of Guardians of the Galaxy, which is a plus. I enjoyed the story, and I'd be game to see more hijinks in space with Cora and her crew.

The story follows Cora, part of a well-known crime family on her home planet. Unfortunately, Cora and her robot companion, Elio, are considered the weak link in the family. And when a heist goes wrong, Cora goes down.

It's on the prison planet she ends up on where the adventure really starts. Locked in a cell with an Earth girl and an alien lizard, Cora and Elio must team up with the pair if they have any hope of escape. But when the warden offers to wipe away their crimes in exchange for a lost treasure, the group eagerly agrees. Too bad they get a lot more than they ever could have bargained for.

The Good for Nothings has a lot going on. Weird planets. Strange people. And don't forget the bounty on their heads. It's a race against time (and through space) to try and collect the treasure for someone collects their heads.

As I stated above, I really enjoyed the story. It's silly at times, but it also packs an emotional punch on occasion. It's a quick, easy read that fans of YA sci-fi novels will appreciate.

4 stars from me!
