This book was an enjoyable space romp and I had fun. I was just at Disneyland and went on the Indiana Jones ride, and this has similar adventure vibes. There's lots of crossing and double-crossing, puzzles to solve, ancient alien civilizations. However, sadly, the two main characters, one a genius, the other street smart, were so slow on the uptake at times, I had trouble believing in them. They fell for things that smart people would have seen coming from a mile away and failed to see other things right in front of their faces. I do realize that they are teenagers and their brains aren't fully developed, but this is book world. We can pretend! However, I did like the ending enough that I will read book two.
