"An Earthan, two aliens, and a robot board a ship and take on the universe..."
A ragtag group of misfits, a treasure hunt, family drama, and space hijinks galore...what's not to love about this book. A quick and easy read.
I really enjoyed these characters, especially Elio. I am such a sucker for snarky, sarcastic robots and Elio fit this to a T. Many of his comments or interactions with the various characters we met throughout the book had me laughing. I think it almost got to the point where anytime his name was mentioned I started smiling because I knew he was bound to do/say something funny.
This book really showcases the idea of a found family. It isn't the family you are born into but instead the one you build/find for yourself. Several of our main characters have difficult home/family dynamics but through the family they form for themselves they learn what they are truly worth. They can embrace their faults and finally feel accepted.
"We are the best idiots for this job."
This is the 1st book I have read by this author but I find myself wanting to check out more of her work.
