This review contains spoilers!
This one is really basically a bit dull. Benny is on a hunt for Jason Kane, and bumbles her way through a plot that doesn't really do anything. It wants, I think, to be a story that condemns capitalism and corporate greed, but manages to flounder its way through this alien world which should by all rights be pretty interesting. But it basically isn't.
The side characters are kind of pathetic and annoying, but there are some good character beats for Benny, at least. One of my favourite things about her is how she's a disaster, and she's allowed to be. She's divorced, she's rash, she's horny, she's short-tempered - and she's delightful for all of those things. SF has this horrible habit of forcing women to be 'likeable' above all else, often to the detriment of the character, but Benny has a real flavour of Indiana Jones and I think it's brilliant that she's allowed to be like that.
