It was a fun-to-read soft sci-fi book with a golden retriever. What’s not to like? While an obvious self-insert fantasy, it didn’t ruin the story. I’ll definitely read the next one.

The narrator was “ok.” There were a few instances where I had a hard time telling who was speaking because they didn’t Chang their voice to match the new character. I got the impression that they didn’t read ahead and either didn’t notice or didn’t care when the speaker changed and it wasn’t obvious until after the sentence when it would say “so and so said” instead of the previous speaker.
