I didn't expect to like this book as much as I did! Lots of political intrigue and plot to keep you engaged. The sexual aspects alluded to weren't anything worse than the Game of Thrones show, so it was easy for me to look past it. But I can see why some people wouldn't be able to stomach it.
This book has a similar kind of humor to Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, only less absurd.
This author wrote the "Trouble with Tribbles" Star Trek episode and I can definitely tell! The story was fast paced and entertaining. I'm definitely going to read more stuff from this author.
