I really wanted to like this, there's so many imaginative concepts and fun characters but they're obstructed, not served, by a plot with no drive and almost no stakes.

The worst part is the story isn't completely bereft of interesting points, the plot just skips past them. Sta-High arrives giftwrapped at the space port, no more fun moon antics, no extrapolation on the diggers. Mr Frosty mentions later the diggers won the civil war, no build up, it just happened. And then Andersen and Mr Frosty's death is just skipped over.
