Finished reading "The Worst Ship in the Fleet" a couple of days ago, the first part of Skyler Ramirez' "Dumb Luck and Dead Heroes" series. I had bought a copy of it after heaving read about it more or less by chance on https://nathanlowell.com/ (hat tip to Nathan Lowell (he/him) 📎 (npub12s2…9gr0)).
It is a quick read and rather fast paced, and I enjoyed it a lot. There are certainly inconsistencies and logical hiccups, but I didn't really care (in contrast to pretty much everything outside of fiction, where I would typically care a lot). The story is captivating, but what is probably most compelling are its two main characters. I am really curious about how their relationship will be developing in the course of the series.
Looking forward to reading part two, "The Worst Spies in the Sector".
