Merchanter's Luck by C.J. Cherryh
5.0
Subtle plotting, keeping everyone off balance. The first sentence puts two characters together, so I knew that a few pages later, Allison would end up filling the empty crew slot on Sandor's freighter. But instead, she heads off, as scheduled, on her family's ship. And it keeps going like that. We know how space opera romance is supposed to work, and this one has a realistic streak that spurns that at every juncture while sticking tight to the genre.
And still, it is a great story, an easy read, but with so much more than that first sentence suggests. It is a bit like the first time you have Thai food -- how is this sweet and tart and crunchy and soft, all in one dish?
