Ok this was an absolute good time. Voyage of the Damned executed what Gideon the Ninth failed to do for me. This was a gritty, fun isolated closed circle mystery set in a dystopian fantasy setting. The main character,Dee, was lovable and funny. The humor hit like Everyone in My Family has Killed Someone. There was a mini-found-family situation ,which is my catnip. The one qualm I had while reading it is figuring out what age range this book is for. Due to the dystopian setting, the characters trapped on the ship are as young as six and as old as thirty. However, I think I’m going to place Voyage of the Damned in either New Adult or Adult age range. A great read! I look forward to trying more from this author.
