I enjoyed this WAY more than I originally thought I would. (ETA: I didn't really know anything about it other than space pirates and who wrote it, it's not that I wasn't expecting much, it's that I wasn't sure what to expect. And it greatly exceeded any non-expectations that I had.) 
 It's really well written and easy to read, and completely left me wanting more. I actually really love the serial novel thing, with smaller parts being published closer together than a regular series. I'm really looking forward to reading the rest of this series. 
 I would definitely recommend this for someone looking for a quick space-y read. Really compelling. Can't wait for the next instalment! 
 (For my Europe journal: I read this in one sitting, in my hotel room in Budapest.)
