Wonderfully un-serious science fantasy.

I tend to go for very tight storytelling and highly developed world building. Like others have said though, this is a refreshing and fully entertaining 80 hour ride for one measly credit. The writing style and world building lacks that wicked edge you find in truly great fantasy and fiction, but easily makes up for it in just plain fun, sometimes juvenile, and always irreverent storytelling. It took fully half of the first book for me to finally let go of some annoyances and just relax into the characters and plot line, but I’m glad I stuck with it. Don’t expect any actual science here. This is lowbrow space magic pirates all the way and a lot of fun.
