3.0

A fun space opera with some good characters. It does possess the no democracies in space trope, but the lead peasant character still addresses the princess by her first name without being corrected. Also the bafflegab drive seems a bit mystical to me, but it's used in a fairly consistent fashion and not deus ex machina style. It's part of a series and while the endings not a cliffhanger, it sort just slumps to an ending. A good first novel.
