Lovely slice-of-life science fiction. This is something I've always been wanting to read.

I liked this. It's definitely corny but I got fully caught up in it. I didn't expect to continue on with the series but I couldn't leave the story after just one book.

This is a decent enough read when you're in the mood for something that won't stretch your brain at all (and that's the mood I'm in right now, which is why I plan to start the sequel right away).

I did find it a bit disappointing that even though a lot of the narrative takes place in a galley or in restaurants, all of the food mentioned was really basic, uninteresting, and sparsely described.

I also thought it was a shame that almost all the characters used every moment of their spare time trying to make more money. There wasn't even any explanation of why they wanted to do this - there just seemed to be a blanket assumption that of course everyone always wants more money.
