I enjoyed this a lot. I approached it after having it described to me as "cozy sci-fi", which was enough to set my expectations. Overall it is an interesting endeavor the characters set out on, and it is fun to follow their youthful passions and see how their enterprises develop. It's a nice snapshot of what life on a ship would be like for the crew.

A refreshingly upbeat book (aside from the opening premise that gets things rolling). Far too much modern genre fiction is obsessed with "grimdark" settings and situations, and it's nice to see something that isn't dark and dreary.

It's also refreshingly short. The author tells an entertaining tale in around 250 pages and I appreciate that after reading far too many overwritten "epics" that could have been gotten across the story in much less space.

I will most likely continue reading this series in the future.
