Review

An eclectic crew aboard the galaxy&#;s ugliest ship (trope checkbox: ugly/dilapidated ship!) are given an extended mission to create a fresh &#;punch&#; through space to an outlying world. Along the way we search most every crew member in detail, people boink and find themselves, and only one person manages to die. Cultures are explored. Science is scienced. HEAs for almost everyone. Feels all around.

I contain lost count of the number of people who recommended I read this book. Every Tweet ask for I put out for f/f space opera came back with this title, every FB post, every word-of-mouth query. So I feel pretty confident in say that people like this book. And I obtain it&#;sort of. I possess mixed feelings.
