The Constable

Setting: Space somewhere, it doesn't matter.
Language: Basic language, don't remember any made up “future words” that threw me off.
Characters: The main character has some almost magical powers of observation and no filters at this point in his life. A fair of suspension of belief is required for all the other characters as they are mostly stock characters. Wise mentor, enigmatic older man, street wise best friend and so on. They serve the main characters story and don't distract.
Plot: This is part of an origin story of a character from a larger series. As such we get the smart almost a genius (or maybe on the spectrum?) but socially awkward teenager goes down an wayward trail and ends up with a life altering choice story. It is well done example a space fantasy filled with lots of action and mystery elements.
