Misogynistic, violent, and not well written
I love space opera and I don't mind big strong heroes and their lovely partners in crime. Bring it on.
Here however we have nothing of the sort, just lots of people getting summarily shot in the stomach with the women simpering helplessly nearby. I don't have time for this nonsense.
I read this futuristic space opera book which on the face of it was a delightful pirate adventure and the description captured me. It has lots of little details and clever nods to the reader so it lives up to that claim. Especially if you enjoy 3rd person historical fiction, this might be a great book for you to read on an evening after a long day at work. However, the style was frankly pretty impersonal compared to 1st person and frankly ruined the overall potential of the work in terms of worldbuilding because it never really pulled the reader in. Which was kind of a shame because I liked the author's imagination. This may or may not be a big deal for you.
