Trading in Danger by Elizabeth Moon
3.0
This was not a horrible book, but it was also kind of anti-climatic.
PROS - I had the Grphic Audio version which was fun to listen to
- This is classified as a Space Opera, though I would say that this is also very Logistics Heavy, which for me is fun, because I have Loggie Experience
CONS - the intense action scenes number to about 3, the 1st being medium, the 2nd raising the stakes, and the 3rd felt wedged in to meet rule of three
- the Model and the fruitcakes, though not Deus Ex Machina (more like Chekov's Band-aids and Chekov's Wallet) felt un-natural as well. How would someone know that Ky needed cerain parts for her engine BEFORE she left? Why would her aunt hide something in a fruitcake that she knew Ky had thrown away uneaten before? Felt too convenient for my tastes.
Overall, while not a horrible book, it had too many things I did not like to continue, but the Logistical parts were fun for me.
