(finally. I’ve been reading it off and on for at least a month now.)

It’s a super fast paced book, mostly an homage to Heinlein in all the bad and good parts (reverential but paternalistic attitude towards women, a ‘can do it’ attitude) with a protagonist that’s a bit luckier than I think Heinlein would ever let happen. Honestly it just feels like there’s no dramatic tension ever in the novel after the first 20 pages or so. Things just go too well.
