📚 This was a fun book! The characters were interesting, there was lots of adventure, there were some laughs. The big twist was slightly predictable, but not obviously so.
🎧 Dual 3rd person POV, one (female) narrator. Nothing outstanding but nothing egregious either.
🌶️ 2.5/5 for a few explicit scenes that didn't feel super hot to me
✊🏳️🌈 This book is decently inclusive and progressive. Several of the crew on the journey are POC, iirc at least one is queer?, and the MMC is mixed (he had a white father and a Brazilian mother, which could mean anything really in terms of racial appearance, but does make him of Latine heritage).
