maybe I really am just a hater with too high standards because I kept waiting for it to click and it never did :-/ interesting plot and world, but weak technical writing and half from the perspective of a pretty much insufferable space cop

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.

Funny, heartfelt, suspenseful, and utterly unexpected in many ways. I was recommended this book by a friend and was not disappointed. While I definitely found myself more attached to some characters than others, I really enjoyed all of the cast.
