As you can tell, I'm a fan of Falstaff, so this is absolutely perfect. I love the Doll (model name: Tearsheet) who looks not one bit human but who has a tough and very human mind and who's more than capable of looking after Jack Falstaff. I love that it's not a good year to be French in English space, and that the beacons indicating Scottish space are easily changed and stolen, and that Hal doesn't look quiet real. I love that being in the wars meant something and that Falstaff doesn't try to explain it. I love that Falstaff can be so clearly hurt by Hal's stealing and yet that Hal can be completely blind to it...and that Falstaff can all but pretend his hurt out of existence.
And I sporfled when the Doll needed to go to a fungus specialist, because that was just perfect.
It's funny and it's sad at the same time. And Falstaff, space pirate, is completely himself.
