The good
-
Fun new universe. It feels like a real place, with its own politics, economics, and hardships, rather than some futuristic sci fi utopia.
-
Interesting characters. Most of them feel like real, fully-fleshed out people.
-
Some neat sci fi ideas.
-
A little bit of deduction work.
The not so good
-
The deduction work isn’t particularly interesting and doesn’t give the reader a chance to really participate.
-
Not a whole lot really happens in the plot. Although there is some murder and mystery in the background, the plot primarily focuses on a few deliveries across space, a bit like reading about an outer space version of FedEx.
