Status Updates From Mutineer (Kris Longknife, #1)

If one can get past the over-exaggeration & cringey inner dialogue present allover the book, but especially in the first 30%, one can find this enjoyable in the way that spaceverse fluff is.

I’m still really enjoying it but I have found an odd flaw. It is clear that the author does not have insight into a female mind. Perhaps this improves in later books in the series, at least I hope so as I own the whole series and plan to read it.
Also the book title and blurb seem to have been placed with haste, still Kris’s adventures are exciting and her resilience admirable.

I think this book has not received a fair shake from book tubers or reviewers. I’m really enjoying it. It a good sci-fi adventure story. I think Kris Longknife is a likeable character with traits that are slightly stereotypical ( rich kid syndrome). All the reviewers went on about Kris being hampered by childhood trauma but that is not so. It is actually the driving force in a successful mission.

I’m in the middle of chapter 8. I’m really enjoying it. This book has had mixed reviews but I like the main character and that she is flawed but holds her own. The book has the feel of the space operas I read when I was younger. It is 20 years old. I’m perhaps that is why it does not resonate with a younger or ( woke) generation.
