Thanks to Net Galley and Macmillan for the advance read in exchange for an honest review.
So far: spectacular. Voice of Murderbot, depth of Gideon the Ninth, and sex of—name a romantasy.
Narrator, for me, is really rough though. No dynamism to the voice. It’s like it got squished with a compressor and everything is exactly the same level.
Book is fantastic so far though. Funny as hell.

Moby Dick + Murderbot + sex.
If you’ve read Moby Duck (I have), you’ll enjoy this quite a bit more than if you haven’t. But it’s still the type of book that if you’re down for its voice, it’ll grab you and not let you go.
