Rating: 7/10
Final Thought:
Having read this title for a good amount of time, I feel safe in saying that the stories are usually best when they involve both personal drama of the titular characters or some sort of large scale Space trouble. This one involves both. I enjoy the ways that Jessica progresses as a character, while showing that she is clearly not ready .Simon is a guy that is Hot and cold, I feel. I like how this story ties back to the events just before the last arc. That being said I have no problem with this book, I just find it humorous, yet a bit bland.
