This is an incredibly fast-paced, fun, and spirited book that is hard to put down and can be laugh out loud funny (and equal parts horrifying in the way of space fantasies can be). I found the characters to be lovable, but not really that deep or complicated. Fun to read, but feels like something is missing to really make this book stand the test of time.
