It is okay... But not in a traditional sci-fi sense of things. It is sarcastic. But it is more character driven, which is different. It isn't super action based. Very different for me for sci-fi. It felt like it was trying to be Andy Weir in a way, and didn't hit the mark.
A guy who is an "expendable" is on his 7th iteration of himself and something goes wrong. The whole book is about that one mistake essentially. It didn't feel very high stakes. It wasn't bad at all, it just isn't high action or high intensity.
It felt like a long conversation in space. Even when things with action did happen, the writing made it feel lack luster.
