If anything's disappointing me on revisiting this series it's Trillian. She had little to do last time and gets even less here.

I think I unlocked a memory halfway through of not jiving with this one so much as a teen either. Very plotty, meandering between set pieces that mostly lead to dead ends, and also seems to have forgotten that the last book ended with a promise to go to the titular Restaurant. But the plot functions well enough as a Wit Delivery System that it's hard to mind so much.

I like the captain in the bath. He's got life figured out.
