There's not a lot of authors that I trust unconditionally. [a:Gail Carriger|2891665|Gail Carriger|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1257289860p2/2891665.jpg] happens to be one of them, which is part of the reason why I got involved in the Kickstarter fund that supported the making of this audiobook. And I'm really glad I did it. I greatly enjoyed this story and it has all of the charm that I usually expect from her writing, just in a different genre.
I'm not sure if this is going to be part of a series or not, I think it's a fine stand alone novel that's full of details but doesn't drag you down with unnecessary info dumps. I appreciate description that's concise and I actually laughed several times during this. I usually don't like full cast audios, but this one worked. All and all, I very much enjoyed it.

Crudrat by Gail Carriger is one of my favorite audiobooks now! I love the adventure, I love that it's in space, and I love that it's still in Gail Carriger's voice. This is not her usual Victorian setting with all your supernatural creatures. This full cast audiobook is one of her best stories about a young girl, a Crudrat who parkours throughout the tunnels of a major spaceport in order to clean the tunnels to keep the gravity spinning. Once she gets too big, her license pulled that keeps her somewhat safe, she finds herself with fewer options to keep herself from starving. Will running off with an alien creature and her crud eating murmel show her there's more to her own life than being a Crudrat? Or is that all she's suited for?
Are there still strong characters, unusual beings, and lots of running around trying to figure out what's going on? Yes. Is this worth a listen too if you love Gail's other books? YES! Do you love space and aliens and smart-ass girls who sometimes don't know when to stop? If yes, then you definitely need to listen to this book.
