I have 22 pages left of this book and Ive just kind of defaulted to speed-reading and not caring if I miss details. Im just finishing this due to the sunk cost fallacy if Im being honest

Increasingly convinced that the author didn't know how to fill the word count of this and that's why it's got so much detail. I like the concept- a gung-ho pirate adventure set in a setting inspired by pre-space age sci-fi about space travel, with lovecraftian horrors as the villain all told through the lens of douglas adams- but it ends up being too much at once.

This series' rather haphazard approach to editing is probably this book's greatest fault. A bit overwritten, trying a teensy bit too hard to be alien and thus being far too overwhelming. But I guess I'll keep reading
