It was enjoyable to fill in the blanks of what Bones was up to whilst out of view from Kat as per the originals. The technology updates made a lot of sense.
However, I still find the British “accent” so disconcerting it throws me out of the story.

It settled in towards the end enough that I would like to read the next one, though I’m hoping it covers more of the4 year gap so we can see him as a character in his own right…
