When it comes to space pirates, I think I like Becky Chambers’ ragtag shipmates better. Still, I ended up enjoying the characters and the action, though the pacing and arc seemed off at the end. I’m super intrigued by the big baddies (the Architects) who felt really fresh to me, so I’ll read the rest of the series.
