Before this my favourite book in the series was Once Burned (the Captains Table one), which was the last really character driven one that focused more on the themes of a character than a general plot happening to the crew.

This book focuses on two of my favourite characters in more detail (most of all Soleta of course, which made me very happy) so it was either going to be very good or very bad. It was not bad! Very happy especially about the limelight on Soleta and McHenry.

It was somewhat of an even split of silly and perhaps somewhat dark humour content and genuinely dark events. I hope the coming books focus more on Soleta than the previous two or so did
