I'd like to start by thanking Si for being incredibly kind and giving me a free copy of this book to read in exchange for a review. I'm so glad to have gotten around to reading this wonderful, witty, fast-paced ode to everything sci-fi with a huge dash of whimsy and a ton of heart. As with all of the best books, I fell in love with the characters and storyline right from the start and enjoyed each page more than the last.

Lem, our protagonist, is instantly lovable. Her voice as a narrator is a perfect representation of the emotions and expectations that any of us would have if we were suddenly abducted by a teapot-shaped spacecraft piloted by pastel bunnies. Lem's dry sense of humor, penchant for sci-fi references, and unyeilding determination to stand by her friends (and dog) shone throughout her interactions with her newfound companions and introduction to the book's colorful cosmic setting.

I always try to keep my reviews spoiler-free, but you don't even KNOW how much I want to talk about the rest of the cast. A collection of zany, diverse, brilliant characters who really bring so much joy and depth to an already amazing story and MC. I especially loved how many of the conversations between them all (but particularly between the rest of the cast and Lem) were filled with misunderstandings and confusion over differing experiences. The reason I loved this is because, despite often lacking common ground, there was still such a gentle level of care shown. You don't have to fully understand someone else's life or experience in order to accept those things as valid and worthy of respect.

I adored the conversations and scenes surrounding Lem's gender and her asthma and allergies. I felt that they were handled wonderfully. For a whimsical, light-hearted sci-fi romp, this book had lots of beautiful moments thar truly touched me. (And just as many that made me laugh!)

Thanks again so much to Si for providing me with my copy AND for creating this world and these characters. I can't wait to continue the series!! (Also, not to pick favorites, but Bexley is absolutely the BEST. 😁)

An excellent sequel, focused on life on Mars rather than planning the colony. I was particularly pleased to see that there was more about Devon.

I'm just hoping the author will write more in this series.

As the author says, this is a very niche book. There�s a lot of science (and there are notes about the science at the back), but if you�re a geek, you�ll probably love it.
Personally, I really appreciated and liked the representation of the autistic character Devon. It was sympathetic and most of all, it felt *right*.

I'm not great at reviews, but I will say it made me cry in a good way. It made me hopeful about and also portrays my worst fears for the future.

I really like the concept of this series, and this book delivers. The characters are all interesting, but very different, and I feel like I'm starting to get to know the Aunties better, especially Baz. The idea that drag queens are targeted for violence is all too realistic, and there are some very unpleasant individuals, but the author manages to keep the tone light.As a fan of both Douglas Adams and Dharma Kelleher, the references to them made me smile :)

If you enjoyed any of the others in the series, or the Starship Teapot series, I'm sure you'll love this one too.

I was surprised that the blurb said this one only featured Peggy and Baz. I thought it odd that those two were left alone, but the explanation makes sense. The characters work well together in the story, and it was good to see a little more of Peggy's family and background. Overall, it's a fun short story that fits with the canon.

I really enjoyed this. After reading the Starship Teapot series, I picked up the free Friends in Need. As with Starship Teapot, i really enjoyed the characters. This book follows neatly on from Friends in Need and introduces a new character, Baz. She complements the other old ladies well. I was surprised (not in a bad way) at how things turned out but can't say more without spoiling. I don't read a lot of cosy mysteries, though, so that might just be my inexperience with the genre.

A great short story, it was interesting to see a little of Lem's history. Lots of geeky references, which just made it all the better for me.

I've read some of the Starship Teapot series, and downloaded this to try a different genre and series. I'm very pleased that I did. The characters are interesting and the story is fun. Recommended.

I loved this book. The ladies prove that age doesn�t stop a bad ass!

The whole series has trans and disabled allegories, but they are more pronounced in this book. As with the other books, though, they are presented with humour, and they don't get in the way of an excellent story. I got angry more than once at certain characters and got so upset at times that i had tears in my eyes. But I also laughed a lot, and that range of emotions is what I've loved most about this series. Kay Eluvian's narration on the audiobook is top notch.

The story had well rounded characters and a fulfilling plot in which justice is satisfyingly served through vigilante action.

This cosy crime story has it all - friendship, solidarity, humour and heart aplenty, even an adorable rescue dog. A comforting read in these turbulent times. Looking forward to the novel!

Consider Pegasus is the Starship Teapot's story following "Judgement Dave". I continue to absolutely love the characters and storytelling. They are funny and sweet and wild. I noted in my review of " Judgement Dave" that it was good to see our current events from the perspective of the Teapot universe. I have been more caught up in current events in the years since 2016 then ever before. My eyes and mind have become more open to seeing the vast cruelty and hatred that our country was founded on and continues to show to the marginalized and vulnerable. I know I have so much more to learn, but was feeling overwhelmed. Along came Starship Teapot. Like Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels", the failings of society and the need for true change are presented with absurd humor. With people who are fundamentally different than we are in so many ways but just like us, for good and ill. With the chance to look at ourselves in non-threatening ways. I can laugh and cry and cringe and really think. Then laugh again, because...a pink teapot spaceship! The Starship Teapot is a gift that I am so grateful for. Despite the tone of this review, I am off to have more fun with Lem, Spock, Bexley, BB, Aurora and Henry. I hope you'll join me.

"Herding cats" is referred to several times in "Judgement Dave", and very aptly. Lem, Spock, Bexley, Aurora, BB and Henry find themselves on a mission to get inhabitants to safety before a meteor strikes the planet. The inhabitants who hired them, however, behave in ways that help you understand where the cat phrase comes from. I love the characters. I love the story line. I love reading our current experiences into the story of a team of all types of species and bodily forms and gender and no gender and differing types of mobility and language. All extremely lovable while also fully themselves. I can't wait to continue the adventures of the pink teapot and its denizens.
