Chaotic Orbits

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Chaotic Orbits is the omnibus edition of the three novellas (and a brand new bonus story) by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Beth Revis. It’s an excellent romantic science fiction trilogy with a smart and sassy thief outwitting a shrewd government agent. Their chemistry is captivating and the dialogue is witty. As Ada says, “A little light banter couldn’t hurt the situation.”

This volume comes complete with a new cover designed by Jenna Stempel-Lobell and illustration by Dani Pendergast. It includes three previously published novellas – Full Speed to a Crash Landing, How to Steal a Galaxy, and Last Chance to Save the World – and the new short story, “One More Damn Thing.” It keeps the same dedication, epigraph, and acknowledgments from the author, which are all just as spunky as the main character.

Revis has a gift of combining rich worldbuilding and magnetic characters with enchanting dialogue. There’s so much left unexplored between these two characters and a great big universe for them to explore together. The bonus story in this omnibus is just a teaser of what I hope to see in the future. Readers will be obsessed with this series and want any other scraps she’ll give us.

I highly recommend this book, and already have my eye on her first romantasy book coming out in June of 2027, Dragon of the Deep. It’s part of her new The Winterflame Dragon duology, and I have no doubts it’ll be fabulous. Keep an eye out for that review from me, too. In the meantime, I have all her other books in my TBR. She’s a must-read author for me – automatic buys for anything she writes. I’ve already purchased all of her non-fiction books on writing. And despite owning all three novellas – in hardcover editions autographed in person by Revis, and in audiobook formats- I have already preordered this omnibus. The cover is absolutely gorgeous and I can’t wait to have it among my collection.
