This was a really fun read! The GBBO comparison is a litttle bit weak - while cooking is featured throughout, the competitive nature of it is only in the VERY beginning.

A fun, light space opera that wears its influences right out on its sleeve, maybe to the point where it feels unfortunately derivative. If you enjoy the found family setup (and oh, when it's good I certainly do) but want something maybe a notch darker than The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet, or if you're missing Farscape (I mean, who doesn't), and hey space pirates, give it a go.
