There were parts that I liked and others that I was 'so uhm, what now'
The plot and the pace were all over the place, sometimes quirky and light while turning extremely heavy and dark the next minute, let me tell you I had whiplash!
For a character driven book we get too many POV switches in the same paragraph, sometimes you had to reread a sentence to get who uttered that.
There is a lot just hinted at but we needed a more solid plot for this book, even if the author planned to have a sequel, they should have at least tidied up some questions left unanswered, this one felt more like a 300 pages of messy preview.
Niko is a good captain and a nice character, she deserved a better story than this useless moping and pining after a toxic ex.
Hope they'll do both her and her ragtag crew justice in the next instalment.
