Review: Bird of Prey (Project: F5 Series Book 1) by Jade Waltz

Bird of Prey Bird of Prey by Jade Waltz
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Spin Off Novella

I’d probably give this book 3.5 ⭐️ if I could

As this is a spin off novella from the Project: Adapt series, it is not standalone. You really need to have read the other books before this one for it to make much sense. However, I get the impression that you could omit reading this novella for Project: Adapt to make sense, you just wouldn’t have a well rounded view of these supporting characters.

In previous books we are introduced to Qraniebi, who works for Zirebe. He is currently under investigation because his ship and crew kidnapped Zirene’s mate. We also have met Bryeca before, she is one of the Fab Five and sister to Zirene’s mate, Selena’s, bodyguard. Both Selena and Bryeca’s brother are missing. She has been entrusted with finding out if Qran is involved in that situation.

It doesn’t help that Qran and Bryeca have been lovers on and off for some time.

This novella doesn’t give an awful lot of time to delve into these characters. It feels like plot explanation rather than too much emotional content. I felt it could have been more, which is what I’ve felt with this author’s novellas before. I feel like a lot of the good stuff is stripped out to make room for the plot to make sense. I’m not sure if I’ll read the other novella in this series before reading the next book in the Project: Adapt series as I would rather just delve back into a full scale novel.
