Great, but not perfect
4 stars
So, mostly a fun SciFi story, with callbacks to late 19th and early 20th century naval and general history.
The things that cost it a star for me are an number of smaller annoyances. The bits with the old admiral i didn’t like. There was generally too much going on, with the different factions attached to the festival. The romance subplot felt stitched on and could have been dropped.
