I really tried here. But 160 pages in I just don't CARE about what's happening to any of the characters. 
 Too much info dumping, too little character depth... the whole good idea bogged down by poor execution thing strikes again. The writing suffers from too much "telling" and not enough "showing". 
 A book about teenage bounty hunters in space shouldn't be boring. And despite the fact that the narrative insists the stakes are high, I feel nothing. I'm not at all worried about someone meeting a terrible end. And what's worse is that I don't even think I'd care if they did. 
 ... I think I'll just go watch Firefly again instead.
