You Sexy Thing

I was sold on the idea of “Farscape meets The Great British Bake Off”, or more specifically the Farscape half of that. The sprinklings of other sci fi genre tropes were a bonus to me. While there is cooking involved, it becomes less relevant to the central plot and becomes more of an ancillary device to catch Atlanta up to speed as she learns from Dabry. This isn't a bad thing, but I hope we get to see Dabry have a moment to shine in any future stories.

I found myself getting agitated with the main antagonist as his "revenge" kept seemingly dragging on with his showboating of having the upper hand. The payoff of the escape left me slightly confused. Not sure if I missed it, but I thought the device used to control it stopped it from doing anything other than what the operator said. After the escape, that device was explained as the reason it could pick and choose what it did. Would have liked more explanation on that front, but we have future stories that could explain that.

Overall, I enjoyed the book and look forward to future stories of this crew.
