DNF.

This book is not for me. I started it because I wanted more from the "like Firefly", meaning an ensemble crew on an old but beloved spacecraft, pile and it started off OK. But about 100 pages in I gave up. I still didn't give a damn about any of the characters and the writing was so - damn - full - of boring explanations. I am a big fan of "show, don't tell" and this book is the opposite of that. And with the writing not being my thing, on top of that the characters are somehow too quirky and yet generic in their quirkiness. There wasn't a single thing in this book that I liked.

But don't let that stop you. It has received high reviews, so some people do find something in this book.
