Cascade Failure

DNF @ 44%. If someone is looking for an easy to read, action, space crew sci-fi, I will maybe recommend this. Jal finds himself on a ship he doesn't want to be on and with a crew he doesn't want to be with. This is compared in the blurb to Becky Chambers and Firefly, the latter I can see, the premise is pretty similar. But the book didn't manage the charm and heart you have with found-families, which the blurb claims this has. I could see the attempts, but there was no magic there. Two characters were interesting, but Jal was very lackluster as the star. I didn't particularly care for the writing (I also downloaded the sneak peek on Kindle to see if the narration was skewing my opinion, it wasn't the audiobook), so I was hoping the story would be fine enough (it wasn't). Last, I was largely not a fan of the narrator's narration. So between everything, I thought it was time to accept this is not a book for me.

Thank you NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for the arc.
