Rating: 4.5 ⭐️
I’ve really enjoyed series by Jennifer Estep so I immediately grabbed this science fiction fantasy series, Galactic Bonds, a real thrilling adventure ride.
Starting with a great main character, a woman, Vesper Quill, who’s an inventor/engineer and all around lab rat for a research and development company at the powerful Kent Corp. When Vesper detects a design flaw in the new line of space fighters, her decision to make it known creates an immediate threat to her life and career.
The plot that follows Vesper through the aftermath of her decision is thrilling, fast- paced and ultimately a wild science fiction adventure ride that incorporates magic and science.
I really like Vesper, no nonsense, tough and adaptable to her fast changing environment, as she’s had to be.
Kyrion Caldaren grew on me, as did his connection to Vesper. The tight intergalactic politics and terrorist activity that’s going on is well developed. Further, there’s more highly structured familial relationships within the ruling political structures that figures into relationships and their various magical elements that make this constantly a storyline that I’m invested in.
Each book flows easily into the next so I can binge read into the series .
Highly invested and loving it.

A WOMAN WHO SEES EVERYTHING . . .
Few people know the name Vesper Quill. To most folks, I’m just a lowly lab rat who designs brewmakers and other household appliances in the research and development lab at the powerful Kent Corp. But when I point out a design flaw and a safety hazard in the new line of Kent Corp spaceships, everyone knows who I am—and wants to eliminate me.
I might be a seer with a photographic memory, but I don’t see the trouble headed my way until it’s too late. Suddenly, I’m surrounded by enemies and fighting for my life.
I don’t think things can get any worse until I meet Kyrion Caldaren, an arrogant Regal lord who insists that we have a connection, one that could be the death of us both.
A MAN WHO CAN’T FORGET HIS PAST . . .
The name Kyrion Caldaren strikes fear in the hearts of people across the Archipelago Galaxy. As the leader of the Arrows, the Imperium’s elite fighting force, I’m used to being a villain, as well as the personal assassin of Lord Callus Holloway. Even the wealthy Regals who live on the planet of Corios are afraid of me.
But everything changes when I meet Vesper Quill. I might be a powerful psion with telepathic, telekinetic, and other abilities, but Vesper sees far too many of my secrets.
Thanks to an arcane, unwanted quirk of psionic magic, the two of us are forced to work together to unravel a dangerous conspiracy and outwit the deadly enemies who want to bend us to their will.
