Engaging the Enemy Audiobook

" Yet another galloping adventure with space-faring trader cum privateer (kind of like a pirate employed by a government) Ky Vatta. There was a lot going on in this one - we shift between Ky and her cousin Stella aboard another ship, and Ky is busily trying to raise defences against pirates and irritating entire planets in the process. This creates a great deal of tension between her and Stella, which is resolved in a realistic way. There was a cool battle near the end, and Ky is becoming more believable as someone who is very competent at warfare - I'm looking forward to the next book where I imagine her fight will begin in earnest. Yay for battles in space. "

" A good space adventure with a likable heroine & some well developed characters. I'm a bit peeved because one character is STILL hiding & I think I know who it is. It's beginning to be more a point of wonderment & becoming ridiculous. Minor point though. The rest of the universe is well painted, the situation is believable & tense. It's an easy read, but not a dumb one. Better than just a candy book. "

" I will definitely be finishing the series, although I still think the second volume is the best. It also has the best title, "Marque and Reprisal". This is a fun read, it moves well. "

" I had a hard time getting through this one. I think that the reader will need to read the previous volumes if they aren't going to feel as behind things as I did. "

" I liked this book, it lacked much of the polish of the first book in the series. This book should have been sent back for further revision before publication. "

" I continue to enjoy this series more than I should, even though the books do tend to run together. Less than a week after finishing this one, I can't really remember what happened in it. But it was fun. :-) "

" I know it is not deep SF but action packed and fun "

" Continues up to its original standards with smart writing and good characterization. This volume has the additional benefit of multiple PoVs that really start to gel, but on the downside it feels like a very middle book with not a lot happening. "

" For all that there was supposed to be a lot of action, It was not a very *engaging* book. Moon has a talent with making strong female characters but sometimes I think that plot gets a little muddied. "

" I love the Kylara Vatta character....she is a great construction. "

" Not sure I can say I really liked it, but I did enjoy it. It's not all that different to the previous two, although there's a greater emphasis on communication and politics than trading. A pretty good read, and certainly enjoyable. "

" It's getting better ... but it would've benefitted from some serious editing ... the first 3 books would probably have been better if they had been condensed to 2 ... "

" continues to improve, see my review of Trading in Danger "

" A bit more family mis-understanding/drama in the book than I thought was necessary, but great book none the less. Interesting culture at the one planet too...being rude has serious repercussions. "

" Features some interesting characters. Emphasis on dialog and character development rather than action. "

" Ky makes some hard decisions in this volume as she tries to catch up with her enemies. "

" Third book in Vatta series - hooked me right away - left off where last book did - no annoying flashbacks - so must read other 2 first - but worth it!! "

" I liked this even more than the first two. The addition of Gracie and Stella's perspectives really rounded out this book, and it's comforting to know that there are actually authors who plan out an entire series before they begin them, instead of just making crap up on the fly. "

" I don't really have much to say except that I enjoyed this (even though I wondered for a while whether this fell into the "hard science" category). It doesn't feel _very_ hard, anyway, but I could just be too used to SF by now. "
