Engaging the Enemy by Elizabeth Moon

3.0

---

Like the first two installments of the series, Engaging The Enemy (Book 3 of Vatta’s War) is a fun diversion — which is the entire reason I read science fiction. While it wasn’t as action-packed as the second book, and didn’t focus on character development as either of the first two, there is still plenty of ground covered.

Kylara Vatta remains a character who I can at least partly identify with, realistic with her self-doubts and ability to overcome them.

This is also the first of the three books to introduce a major surprise/twist — (no spoilers!) it involves genetics and major characters.

(I have published a longer review on my website.)
