Figured it was SF time since my last half dozen books have mostly been fantasy or urban fantasy. Not sure if I'll stick with this though. It's got kind of an old fashioned feel so far, with the "special" MC, but it seems not to be moving super fast as the authors feel the need to hammer every point home and aren't terribly skilled at hammering so it takes many many whacks.

If you're going to write space opera, you really should take a few minutes to wrap your head around light speed and the relative distance between stars.

How this book goes:
Random Person: Ean! You're so awesome, you saved us all!!!
Ean: I'm sorry. I'm wasting your oxygen. It's okay if you want to space me, I understand."

It's pretty much just curiosity at this point. Very juvenile.

Obvious villain is obvious. But I appreciate the effort the authors have gone to to make him a well rounded character. He doesn't just refer to women as sweetheart and bitches, he also hates scientists.

If this ends with Ean marrying the princess OR leading a group of Linesmen in song I am going to barf.

I really don't know what to make of the writting here. :/ It's kind of cornball, and feels more like something written in the 70s (or earlier) not by two women in 2015. They said "history tapes"! Tapes, ffs. The most modern thing about it is the whiff of cinnamon roll coming off Ean.
I like something about it though, enough to keep going, though damned if I know what.
