The story has a good premise, however I think this book should be listed as an young adult novel. I stuck with it, but won't be continuing on with the series.
There seems to be some kind of effect on the narrator's voice and it is fairly grating, not something you get used too. Noticed it throughout the entire book.

After an evening of reading and not enjoying it, I checked Goodreads to see if I should DNF it. The plot seemed like it very much should have work for me (spaceship crashes on an empty planet, the five people need to somehow survive), so I stuck with it to nearly the halfway point. The author endlessly info dumped (I skipped So Many Pages of information about this or that) and instead of being a story about surviving on the planet, it was building up all sorts of political mysteries I couldn't care less about. Wish I had DNFed it after that first night of reading.

Decent hard scifi adventure with plenty of characters, plot twists and political machinations. Well written as well though the setting is unlike anything many readers will have encountered before. I think a bit more exposition like that in Ringworld, an exhaustive description of the environment, would enhance this story greatly.
