Review of 'Serenity' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

Found this recently, after having bought it when it was new. All I remembered was that I didn't like it. I just read through it again, and I have to adjust that up to "it's ok". Perhaps it's because of the format, but the story feels brief and rushed. The character development is minimal. Some characters are more like cameos than actual members of the party. Dialogue and banter (etc.) are the parts from Firefly and Serenity that stick out to me, not the action. Perhaps what this would have needed was some more breathing room? I understand this is a compilation of issues, which might make it hard to have too much breathing room. Still, it delivers when it comes to its main purpose: It's more Firefly. And that's what we all wanted.
