I've read Dawson's Star Wars work and enjoyed that too, but this felt lighter than her usual stuff. Which is odd, given the setting. But I'd definitely read a sequel, and it's not a bad way to while away a couple of hours. I enjoyed the interparty dynamics and felt the characters had some interesting angles to them. It feels like these are characters I've definitely been in a party with. I kind of wish they had been at each other's throats a bit more, but I do feel like this is for a bit of a younger audience, and I do like the way the characters resolve their tension. I think my biggest complaint is that I feel like Dawson doesn't really go hard in the paint enough with regards to the setting which I feel is odd, because typically I feel like that's one of her greatest strengths. Not to say that there aren't some shocking elements, but I kind of wish she had pushed harder into it. I wonder if the book might have been better suited to be set in the Forgotten Realms like the Fallback book. I also feel we kind of rush towards the ending. But I enjoyed my time with it, and had fun.</p></blockquote><p></p>
