About this listen

They call him Marrex the Monster. Deformed and wretched, Captain Marrex roams the black of space with only a pair of eccentric AIs for company. The curse in his DNA means a long, bitterly lonely life for the Ghelyxian, and it’s a fate Marrex knows he can’t change.

After a long sleep in stasis, Juniper Bo wakes to discover he’s an unwelcome guest aboard Captain Marrex’s ship. Though he tries to stay away from the surly Ghelyxian, he just doesn’t get why the curse is such a big deal - then again, Juniper knows his tastes are rather...unusual for a Human. When friendship blooms between Marrex and Juniper, they realize they face a future that neither could have predicted in their wildest dreams.

I like this version of beauty. Much better than the original fairytale. I've read the book first, but the audiobook is better as the narrator imbues all the characters with wonderful voices that I now hear in my head when I reread the book.
The AIs add light relief and are cute in the way that they help the protagonists get together. MM fairytale, slightly on the dark side, with a side of scifi, and a wonderful narrator, it is perfect.

I enjoyed listening to this, though it was a little short and didn’t blow me away. Decent, though.
