I found this a very pleasant read. I was hoping for something a little meatier but it was a fun little adventure, probably because the characters were likeable and I enjoyed reading what they were doing. As far as the story, for me it was like something you'd find in a fantasy tv show (like charmed but with science instead of magic) in that the hero saved the day while those with more knowledge and experience were following her instructions after she spent a couple days teaching herself alchemy.I did enjoy reading it and I'd definitely try another book by this author, especially if it involved the same characters. I think of it as junk-food reading - very easy to consume and fun, but I wouldn't want a steady reading-diet of it.
