bookish_purrsuits's review against another edition
Super disappointed in this one! First off, this is really nothing like Becky Chambers. I was expecting cozy vibes and I was very mistaken. In the first half of the book, a whole ship of people get burned alive. I was absolutely not expecting that and it really caught me off guard. I read about half of the book and things had just started happening. The first half should have been 2-3 chapters not 150 pages. I was also super confused about the world. I guess there was world building, but it's all off page and the reader has no idea. The characters also don't make a lot of sense- how does the lovable oaf of a captain go to unfeeling hard ass who only cares about herself ?
Maybe it's because I went into this book expecting something like Becky Chambers, but none of this worked for me which is a huge shame. The cover is gorgeous and I really was looking forward to reading a diverse space opera!
