Fun diverse space opera

This was fun! England's writing is occasionally a little forced, but I enjoyed this more than Spellhackers! I wish it were a whole series though, because I felt like it was a little rushed. Plus, I need to know what's going to happen with Case, Ryan and Nax. You can't just hint at a throuple and then leave me hanging!

Yes!!!

Couldn’t put it down. A rag tag team of teenagers are the only ones with a chance to save the human worlds. Yes please. The sheer amount of reps and diversity MK England brings us through the story made my heart flip each time. They somehow manage to address and acknowledge pressing issues while keeping the story entirely relevant to and humorous from the perspective of my new favorite teenage space pilot Nax. Honestly simply amazing and a super easy read. I felt at home with these characters, and if you’re a LGBTQ+ reader I think you’ll know exactly what I mean. Just read it!
