Your mileage may vary, so keep that in mind before considering my comments.
I really didn't like this book, and it amazes me that I finished it. I put it down a couple of times because it was too tedious for me to continue. With “Mutineer” in the title you expect a mutiny to be a main part of the story. It's not. The main part of the story is watching a (space) navy ensign do ground work on a planet. The mutiny is at the very end and is over too fast and way too easy. Seriously, I went through the whole mutiny in maybe 15 minutes of reading. The way she pulled off her “mutiny” didn't resonate either. Had this book been about a mutiny and the fallout from that, it might have been more interesting. Instead it's about a dirtside rescue operation that's really not that interesting.
