It took a while for the rather episodic plot, uneven tone, and inchoate relationships among the characters to finally gel, but once they did, this became a fun space romp. Captain Eva-Benita Caridad Larsen Alvarez y Coipel de Innocente reminded me a bit of Murderbot in her foul-mouthed snarkiness and blithe disregard for mortal peril. As a bonus, I learned more Spanish swear words in the first 10 pages than I ever knew existed. This is not the most polished book, but it shows promise.

The rating is for the story itself, which I found pretty engaging. That said, I listened to the audiobook and I found the narrator's voices cringe. The main character and the third-person narration were good, but the other main characters, Savvy, Dar, and Lunna, and were awful.

SO FUN! Absolute space fantasy - not sci-fi. If you can, I recommend the audio book. The characters are so well done and hilarious. Not a space opera. Just a fun romp - kinda Firefly-ish. I really liked it and will definitely read/listen to the sequel.
