Overall I enjoyed The Crew. It's quite a unique feel in a book. It felt like an quest rpg in the sense of: To have X join your party, find X item. Now they have joined, continue on your quest. You have encountered a rogue boss battle. Prepare to engage. It also reminded me of Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy as there was a lot of meandering and silliness. It definitely has plot but it's not terribly focused (on purpose), so you’re just kinda along for the ride. The world and racial/class structure is fascinating, and the characters were vibrant, but I didn’t feel like the characters got a ton of development. For me too much of it was done for fun and giggles without delving much deeper, and when Sadir did pull in themes they felt a little too on the nose for me. Overall I would recommend The Crew to those looking for a unique and spirited adventure romp with cool worldbuilding. Go in expecting a wacky time and you'll enjoy the time.
