this was great fun, although it reminds me very much of Lois McMaster Bujold's earlier works (not a bad thing, she has incredible talent and I love light space opera).  It's not perfect, by any means, but it's fast, fun, and crazy. There are some weaknesses and a few errors, but overall it's very fun and well polished.  Along with the other works by Kal I think I've found a new author to watch in my favorite niche.  Love it, especially with the other stories. There's not a ton of character development in this one, but it introduces an interesting universe and a promising author.  It's so rare to find someone who remembers this genre is supposed to be fun, despite the recent fad to make everything "darker" and "edgier" (often to the detriment of some great work; if it's all the same style what's the point?)
