Persephone Station Reviews
3.5 stars Persephone Station is an often overlooked planet that has suddenly come to the attention of a large corporation. It turns out that there are natural resources that have only recently been discovered. Rosie owns Monk's Bar in the corporate town. This bar is frequented ...
This gay-friendly "gals with guns" space opera hangs on a fast-paced plot that is currently pretty popular in the SF field, the evil corporations masking their power grabs as AI entities explore various ways of being sentient. Add in mostly female characters, with non-binary ...
Thanks to Saga Press for the free advance copy of this book. ? Mix together a little bit space western, a little bit space opera, and a lotta badass queer women and nonbinary people, and you've got the start of PERSEPHONE STATION. ? The plot is vast and the characters a...
Persephone Station by Stina Leicht is a dark space opera that will appeal to Firefly fans. The story has that same sort of found family/mercenaries type vibe. Stina Leicht, known for her short story work and The Fey and the Fallen and the series The Malrum Gates, brings us her first fu...
I had kind of an uneven reading experience with this book (Which bummed me out, since I was so pumped to read it.) For me personally, the first quarter (third?) of the book was a bit of a slog. I felt like the characters weren't terribly well developed (someone in the story doe...

If you can get stick with it through the first third of the book ? it?s a bit of a slog that manages to both info dump on characters and yet hold back on world-building ? Persephone Station is a pretty kickass bit of dark-and-gritty space opera. Stina Leicht has crafted a fier...
3 stars You can read all of my reviews at Nerd Girl Loves Books. For me, this science fiction book is a miss. I just couldn't get into it. It is well-written and packed with action, but it just didn't interest me. Persephone Station is backwater planet that the Serra...
When I read the blurb for Persephone Station, I thought it sounded amazing. A genre-bending infusion of science-fiction and weird Westerns with a predominantly queer cast. And, from the outset, at least one of those things fulfilled my expectations in a good way: Persephone Station ...
Thank you so much to the publisher and the author for an ARC of this amazing book debuting on January 5th! Angel and her team have a very important mission--to save the Indigenous life forms on Persephone from the corporation that rules the planet. This book is an action packed spac...
I'm so, so glad to have been auto-approved for Gallery Books because this space opera is one of my most anticipated books and like, the cover is fucking badass ------------------------ 'On the backwater planet of Brynner, at Persephone Station, a community of android r...
2 stars. I was pretty disappointed in this one. It had all the necessary elements (diverse LGBTQ cast, planet with aliens, AI, badass group of women), but they didn't seem to add up to much. We had a few different storylines to follow, but I only got invested in the fate of the...
Thank you Gallery/Saga for making this a Read Now on NetGalley for this week. Because, this sounds, just... YES. ...
Persephone Station is a standalone sci-fi novel set on a planet of the same name, one by and large ignored on the galactic stage until a corporation takes a vested interest in exploiting the indigenous population for their knowledge. Pitched as The Mandalorian meets Cowboy Bebop, Perse...
I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Persephone Station by Stina Leicht is a well-written and action-packed LGBT+ sci-fi space opera that's worth sticking with. It took me about a quarter of the book to really get into it, but by the end I was firm...

I received an e-arc of this via NetGalley (thank you!) and all opinions are my own. 3.5 Stars. This book starts off running full speed ahead. You get a wonderful cast of characters who are diverse, there is a main character, Rosie, who is nonbinary which is always good to see. I ca...

???.25 Thank you to NetGalley and Gallery / Saga Press for providing an e-arc in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. Persephone Station is a planet that?s been largely ignored by the United Republic of Worlds ? that is, until the Serrao-Orlov Corpo...
excuse me! THIS COVER!!!! omfgggggg!! ...
[email protected]% I loved that this story had only female main characters. Thank you! Is this what men feel like all the time when reading sci-fi and fantasy? I also appreciated the non-binary character. Unfortunately that was about it. The plot was slow to get moving and not interesting e...

3.75 Stars. This was a pretty exciting space opera. When I heard about a sci-fi book that was filled with lesbian, bisexual, and non-binary characters, my interest was immediately piqued. And of course when I saw the cover I knew I had to read this. The cover art is just so good. I do ...
Persephone Station is an action/adventure sci-fi tale, with enough political intrigue thrown in to lead the story down multiple paths and keep the plot interesting. Angel leads her crew of mercenaries from job to job, and everything is okay until they are accused of a murder they did n...
3.75 ?? what a fast paced, fun ride! ...
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an eARC in exchange for an honest review. Persephone Station is a space saga that follows many different points of view, all of them female/nonbinary. It's interesting to see a sci-fi story told from so many female perspectives, as w...
What a wonderful, exciting, character-rich story Stina Leicht has given us with "Persephone Station". It's an action-adventure (not only that, but one that's both a riff and a tribute to "The Seven Samurai" and its remodel "The Magnificent Seven"...

DNFing this very early, even before the halfway point. I don't know if it's because I listened to the audiobook but this is super hard to get into. So far it's nonstop action without emotional stakes, it's all cliches, and I don't care about any of the characte...
This is such a cool book. I?m so glad I picked it up off of Netgalley. I?d really been in the mood for a space epic and this book totally delivered. The plot was interesting and intense, the worldbuilding was complex and intriguing, and the characters were well created. It?s also...
