The first couple books in this series were funny, wacky, bizarre, philosophical, and simply well put together. This one is still witty and charming, but drops the philosophical underpinnings and is totally slapped together without rhyme or reason.

It didn't make me laugh, the odd smirk being the best it could extract. The world and characters both fell flat, and I just didn't care about anything happening.

200 pages should never feel like a slog, but I was so disconnected from this I had to take a massive break from reading it halfway through before eventually circling back just to complete it.

Trillian being a girlboss as usual.
This was pretty fun, and the humor was, as always, on point.
I don't really know what else to say. Just give it a try and you'll know.
