This is one of Lovegrove’s better attempts at capturing the magic that is firefly. Though slow to start the plot is interesting and feels fresh. I rather enjoyed the worldbuilding in this one. The prison planet is a cool setting. Though making Inara sick feels a little cliche considering her profession. As always his characterisation is hit or miss, He did most of the crew good this time, but he writes River too sane and a little too close to psychic for my liking. And Mal was fine until his last conversation with Inara (Spoiler alert) he has been incapable of telling her his feelings up to this point, there is no way he’d propose. Moreover the ending between them doesn’t mesh with the timeline, the seemed to be at odds at the beginning of serenity, but this doesn’t lend itself to that. Though it fixes some continuity issues too, like River instantly becoming the pilot after the movie, that makes more sense with this story. Overall it’s a good effort.
