Not my favorite John Scalzi novel but it was fun. I prefer when he doubles down on the absurd and comic modes.

This series is not that, although it does have its funny moments, but it’s an enjoyable romp.

Felt more like a soap opera than a space opera at times.

There’s a lot of people thinking about, talking about and having sex. There’s a lot of scheming and plotting that sometimes makes sense but often doesn’t.

So I rolled with it, strapped on my suspension of disbelief pants and enjoyed the ride.
