Enjoyable read - of course I would have liked a longer book so there could be more exploration and world building, as lots of names are tossed around without a chance to be extrapolated on. I thought the sex was a little ill-timed when it finally happened, but maybe that's the fault of danger boner?

This reminded me of Firefly and Serenity (even though that was cowboys and this is pirates) and I loved the writing and the storyline. I love the characters, especially Shay, she's very likeable and fun, and I can sort of get on her side about leaving Jayce .... who is also very likeable and cute.

I've never read anything by this author before (I'm not sure if she has anything else released) but I think I'd like to read it. In fact, I'm off to check on her just now.

Reading a moderately entertaining amateurish book like this makes me realize how much I appreciate a really good writer like C J Cherryh.
