Pretty good story; some of the dialog is extremely juvenile, though the main characters ARE children, and the primary target audience is kids, so that’s to be expected. I found the Time Aliens arc extremely weird and out of place even for this sci-fi story. I personally felt it just didn’t fit within the Lost in Space world; it felt like Marvel territory, which I’ve had quite enough of thank you.
Overall, I think it was a cute story add-on to the tv show; definitely something to read if you’ve just finished the show and still long for more, as was the reason I chose to read it. The author got all of the characters’ personalities spot on, and it’s extra cute if you listen to the audio book as Max Jenkins (Will Robinson) narrates it.
