This was so much fun!! - Very fast and easy to get through. 
I'd say this book is very accessible to people who get overwhelmed by complex sci-fi, because the sci-fi is so light that sci-fi fans might be very underwhelmed. Yes, it takes place in the year of 2194, but except for a bit of new tech and interstellar travel, things seem to be very similiar to life as we know it. ... They're using tablets that seem to be like today-ones and there's a scene where a printed out note is attached to a door... you can't tell me that anyone still uses paper print outs in the year of 2194, especially on another planet than earth.
So yeah, this book doesn't require a lot of mental gymnastics to get to know a new world - a little too little even in my opinion. But in the end I didn't care that much, because I am one of those people who don't read much sci-fi due to it often being rather complicated with a lot of science and technology elements (who would've thought). 

I think the author found a good balance between giving the characters to minimum amount of depth to root for them and focusing on the plot, which was moving very fast and didn't leave a lot of space for side quests or basically anything other than straight forward.
I liked the group and their dynamics, even though they developed very fast to a high amount of "found family" vibe, faster than seemed appropriate. But I guess that's realistic enough given the circumstances (meaning: we HAVE to work together, otherwise we're dead).
Nax was a fitting protagonist, his adrenaline junkie personality was important for this kind of book, because he adapted very fast to every situation. I liked that we got some bi rep with him. While there's nothing wrong with free flying sexual/romantic attractions in emotionally high pressure situations though, I think it would've been enough for me if there wasn't this slight "love triangle" situation, those scenes could've been used otherwise in my opinion. Still, I liked that while there is a an attraction in the book, they're not throwing around "I love you"s, so it didn't feel thaaat insta-loves to me.

Fell for  Rion alongside Nax though, my god that dude has charisma.

The plot is interesting, I'm a sucker for disaster people against a mighty opponent, trying to rebuild their reputation (these peopleweren't really disasters though, they just thought they were). It was a little too straight forward and uncomplicated for me, but still fun to follow. 
The writing style was easy to follow and witty. Sometimes I was a little amused, because you could tell that the author tried to use impactful sentences at the end of chapters. (Don't know how to explain that better.)

All in all I'd recommend this if you search for a quick, uncomplicated read and are intrigued by sci-fi, but don't need there to be that much "sci".
