A review by kindfulkirby
Trading in Danger by Elizabeth Moon
2.0
This book is mostly about money, contracts & logistics.
The protagonist doesn't show a lot of agency outside of these topics, so when she gets into trouble through no fault of her own, she just waits for her enormous (and entirely unexamined) privilege to come rescue her, and make it all end well.
There is one exception to this, where something interesting happens, and she actually does something about it, but… that doesn't make this an interesting or good book.
I was pretty bored by the end, and was glad when I was done with it, but at least it wasn't offensively bad?
4/10
