honestly the book was very enjoyable though of course rather short being book 0 which I see as a sorta novella ish style.
a lot of are favorite characters are back and together still. I really enjoyed the space combat and the story though it can be bit slower and may not be for everyone.
I am very interested in seeing how the first book turns out also I have heard there may be a second gun meister which has me wondering how that will go as well.
