What a strange, weird, fun little book that may bounce off many readers, but when it finds its audience, it will WORK for them - and luckily I'm part of that audience. This worked for me, and I devoured it in 24 hours. 

Leave your disbelief at the door, because this book features a spaceship AI and its medical AI trying to deal with a variety of mishaps visited upon their human passengers: Dracula. A werewolf? Cthulhu fish people?! And more! The ship AI Demeter keeps having the worst luck of paranormal happenings, and every time something happens, she's wiped or recommissioned, and she changes and grows along the way. 

There is an element of goofiness here that you have to be willing to work with, but Truelove writes with a kind of earnestness that's charming and hard not to appreciate. Part of the goofiness and the What Now?!ness of it all means that there isn't a whole lot of room for character development that isn't Demeter or, later, Steward (the medical AI). There are other characters that eventually form a misfit found family, and maybe one of them has any real depth and time on page to truly care for them. The rest feel like they sort of fall in to the found family because the author wanted to end on a found family note.

Despite minor quibbles, this was still a fast paced, funny, silly book with a lot of heart. Kudos to the Bindery Books experiment, this book was published through an imprint led by book influencer Ezeekat. A promising start!
