Review of 'Mimic and the Space Engineer Omnibus' on 'Storygraph'
4 stars
Sweet and to the point but all too short. The book ends at 87% on a Kindle reading device followed by excerpts from other books. Good writing and an interesting take on first contact. I suppose my only gripe is the length and the feeling the book was just getting started.
Will I read book two? Probably, yes. I'm interested in Higgens and Mimi enough to see what happens to them. The other characters haven't had much depth added to them yet, but I expect that happens in the following sequels.

I would like to know more about what life was like for Mimic before she came aboard the ship. For example, what sort of culture did she come from, if any?
Anyway, I see that the following books are a bit longer, so I'll likely dive into those soon. Overall a fun and relaxing read. 3.5 stars rounded to 4.
