Places where the story went to fast or two slow. I also thought the ending was entirely too predictable. Having said that, I really enjoyed nthis book. I want to spend more time with each and every character and look forward to the next book in the series. Captain Nikko Larsen and the remaining members of her unit are retired from the military of the Holy Hive Mind, which is a feat in and of itself. They're running a restaurant on a space station at the edge of the known universe, trying to save up some money and keep a low profile. Unfortunately, some of Nikko's old enemies aren't willing to let bygones be bygones, which is how the crew find themselves aboard a hijacked sentient spaceship, headed toward pirate territory -- and mortal danger. I love the whole spaceship-crew-as-found-family motif (especially if the ship gets to be part of the group), and that's a big part of this story. There's a cozy vibe when they're not in deadly peril, with a fun cooking angle as Nikko's head chef teaches the ship to cook, rather than just whip things up in its replicator units. I did feel that some of the big emotional moments didn't land as well as I would expect, but that's pretty much the only weakness I noted as I was reading this book. The ending wraps things up satisfactorily, but there's definitely plenty to be explored in a sequel. Recommended to fans of Hitchhiker's Guide and The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

TwiceFar station is at the edge of the known universe, and that's just how Niko Larson, former Admiral in the Grand Military of the Hive Mind, likes it. Retired and finally free of the continual war of conquest, Niko and the remnants of her former unit are content to spend the rest of their days working at the restaurant they built together, The Last Chance. But, some wars can't ever be escaped, and unlike the Hive Mind, some enemies aren't content to let old soldiers go. Niko and her crew are forced onto a sentient ship convinced that it is being stolen and must survive the machinations of a sadistic pirate king if they even hope to keep the dream of The Last Chance alive.

A solid found-family space opera, though a bit less cozy than others. (Content warning:
It does need to be said that You Sexy Thing is a terrible name for a ship and a terrible name for a book. It only exists to make a single joke about the 1975 song of the same name by the band Hot Chocolate, and is so annoying to talk about that even the characters in the book call her “the Thing” almost exclusively.
