This book was so much fun! I got pretty strong Firefly vibes from this book, although I can’t pinpoint exactly what it was about the book that reminded me of Firefly. It was fun, action packed, and super diverse. I will definitely be reading more in this series.

2.0

Too misogynistic, patriarchal, and boring. There is infinite potential for a space opera and this one chose cops, guns, thugs, guns, rape, bombs, detectives, guns, prostitutes, guns... you get the picture.

I prefer my sci-fi to be as imaginative, adventurous, and action-packed as Brandon Sanderson's or as innovative, interesting, and intelligent as Becky Chambers'.

This book wasn’t fantastic and it wasn’t terrible. The world is really interesting but the authors got really bogged down in the technical description sometimes, and most of the characters were very flat. The only character with any depth was Miller, and he is so much the main character of the story that it seems wild in retrospect that only half of the book was from his perspective. I found sometimes that I felt left out of what was happening- an action would happen so suddenly that I would go back a few paragraphs, convinced I had missed something, but in fact there just hadn’t been any lead-in  that made sense. I’ll probably continue on with the series but not right away.
