The Disasters by M.K. England

3.0

Despite only giving this book 3 stars, I legitimately enjoyed it. It’s honestly what I wanted Aurora Rising to be - a fun space romp about a classic five-man-band and their wacky hijinks. The characters are funny and diverse if not particularly developed, there are cool world building concepts even if they aren’t explained particularly well or cohesively. I especially liked all the muslim representation in both the characters and the world. The plot itself is structured well enough and the storytelling is clear enough that this was an enjoyable book specifically for what it set out to do, and some types that’s okay. (If you want a more stunning take on some of these ideas on the other hand, I’d recommend Invictus by Ryan Graudin)
