by Elizabeth Moon
adventurous
tense

Plot or Character Driven:
A mix
Loveable characters:
Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus:
No
Finally, a title that is extremely apt. It tells you almost everything you need to know. She is a trader, and she is consistently in danger.
This story feels like it borders on the YA genre. It is plainly written, and the protagonist is a young woman who is constantly dealing with unfair circumstances. Thankfully, she rarely complains, never whines, and is believably competent. Her personality, combined with the frank violence of the story, is what gives it a slightly more adult vibe.
The pacing was interesting. There were consistently steady additions of new conflicts. While the action picks up a little toward the end, the constant danger added a lot of tension. It kept me intrigued and reading.
I would recommend reading this physically, as I ended up doing. I haven't heard the graphic audio version, but the regular audiobook makes the book feel more YA than it should, in my opinion.
